Driver Installation

4.4.1. Mac Pro – Expansion Slot Utility Settings

This section applies exclusively to the Apple Mac Pro, this section

can be skipped for 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.

The 2 port eSATA adapter require only a x1 speed to operate. Make sure that

your video capture/playback card and video display card also get a sufficient x

value. Example below shows the eSATA adapter in slot 2, a popular video

capture card in slot 3, the Dulce RAID Controller in slot 4, and the standard video

graphics card in slot 1.
