PRO RXqp Installation and User’s Manual
Switches 1 to 7 are preset at the
default configuration; they should be
left at the default settings.
Switch 8 and 9 needs to be set to match the slot
speed of the computer. If you are unsure, the 4
lane setting is a good place to start.
4.3.2. HBE Card Installation
The PCI-e HBE Card requires a x8 slot or larger. Computers with PCI-e slots
less than x8 will not physically accommodate the HBE. PCI-e slots x8 or larger
will work.
Apple Mac Pro (Intel) and newer versions of Power Mac G5 support PCI-e, as
well as the HP xw series workstations.
