Driver Installation

4.4.1. Mac Pro – Expansion Slot Utility settings

This section applies exclusively to the Apple Mac Pro produced in

2006 and 2007. Skip this section for Mac Pros from Early 2008 and

later as well as all other computers.

The Mac Pro (Intel Xeon-based) will detect changes in the PCI-e slot

configuration, it will automatically launch the Expansion Slot Utility

where you can make performance adjustments for the various PCI-e slots. The

utility can be manually started also, it can be found at: Under my Mac Pro:

/System/Library/CoreServices.

Ensure there is at least a x4 speed assignment for the slot where HBE Card is

installed, making sure also that your video capture/playback card and video

display card also get a sufficient x value.

Example below is a good balance, it shows the RAID Controller in slot 4, a

popular video capture card in slot 3, a eSATA adapter in slot 2, and the standard

graphic card in slot 1.
