How many chassis can be daisy chained?
The number of systems that can be daisy-chained is system dependent, and is influenced by the host OS/BIOS, and the PCI-Express host architecture. Based on testing, you should be able to daisy-chain 4-7 chassis depending on your system. Each string of daisy-chained chassis will be limited to the bandwidth of a x1 PCI-Express lane (250MB/s theoretical). See the Developer Zone Tutorial: System Configuration Effects on NI 9157/9159 Daisy Chain Depth for more details.
