4.2. User Add-on Card Installation
Remove the cover to access the PCI-e expansion slots, install the desired PCI-e
card in an empty slot. All seven PRO EX expansion slots will accommodate x8
physical add-on cards. Slots A, B, C and D are rated for x4 speed and slots E, F
and G are rated for x8 speed. All the add-on cards in the PRO EX enclosure
share the same Uplink Port speed*.
The add-on cards simply show up on your computer as if they were directly
attached inside the system. Drivers that are normally required for the particular
add-on cards are still required and installs as normal.
* Performance is not compromised due to the high efficient design of the PRO EX, even at the
slower x4 uplink speed setting, data rate of over 750MB/sec is achieved using a pair of Dulce
PRO DQ SATA RAIDs.
Example of PRO EX populated with two SATA RAID Controllers.
