Quad & Duo Quad Installation and User’s Manual

4.4.

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.

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

Controller is installed (x8 is preferred), 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.
