CXI has two in-vacuum 2.3M CSPAD pixel-array detectors. Each detector can be stationed downstream of one of CXI's three interaction points and can be read-out individually, together, or independently – allowing CXI the capability to operate two experiments simultaneously using a single X-Ray beam. When running two experiments during the same shift, the upstream experiment uses the DS1 CSPAD in the primary DAQ from cxi-daq, while the downstream parasitic experiment will use the DS2 CSPAD in the secondary DAQ from cxi-monitor. The names DS1 and DS2, refer to the vacuum chambers that contain the CSPADs as well as a handful of motorized beamline components such as pulse pickers, beamstops, vacuum gauges, and alignment stages.

Taking a look at the EPICS PV descriptions of the detector chamber motors, we can get an idea of what else is inside the chambers.
Obtaining the descriptions of the DS1 motors using caget,

DS1 and DS2 have pet mobile equipment racks, named D50 and D51 respectively. The racks are nearly identical and each contain power supplies and readout electronics for detectors, a Digi, a 4-channel stepper motor controller, an EPICS IOC server, and (whatever else). They handle controls and feedback for detector power and diagnostics, some stepper motor control, and serve as an interface for detector data and timing input/output.

When a detector chambers change locations, such as when DS2 moves from DSD to DSA, The mobile racks are powered down and the detector chambers external electronics are unplugged. When it is mounted at its new stand, the cables need to be reconnected and the mobile rack will need to be set up again.
