4.3. Host Bus Extender Card
Turn off the computer and unplug the power source before proceeding with the
Host Bus Extender (HBE) Card installation.
A PCI-e HBE Card is supplied with your PRO RXqp. The HBE Card will require
an available PCI-e slot in your computer.
PCI-e and PCI-x are not compatible or interchangeable with each other. A PCI-e
card can only be installed in a PCI-e equipped computer. Some computers
support both PC I-e and PCI-x such as the HP xw series but not Apple Macs.
4.3.1. Switch Settings
Determine the correct switch settings. Set both the HBE and PRO RXqp to same
configuration.
The HBE Card and the PRO RXqp enclosure can operate at 1, 4 or 8 lane speed
configurations. The maximum speed will be determined by the capability and
selection of the computer’s PCI-e slot. The HBE Card and the PRO RXqp must
be configured to match the speed of the computer PCI-express slot.
