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 4 port eSATA Host Adapter will operate at x4 speed. Make sure that your
video capture/playback card and video display card also get a sufficient x value.
Example below shows the eSATA port Host Adapter in slot 3, a popular video
capture card in slot 2, the Dulce RAID Controller in slot 4, and the standard video
graphics card in slot 1.
