PCi-e RAID Controller Installation
V2 has been designed to support high data rates required by today’s non-linear
editing, color grading and VFX systems. Proavio recommends installing your RAID
controller in a 16x PCI-e slot for optimal performance. If your system does not have
an available 16x PCI-e slot - a 8x slot may be used.
*NOTE:
PCI-e x8 Slots will reduce overall performance.

Ensure that both connectors are properly secured & fastened (locked).
Most initial problems are related to poor cable connections.
