Apple Dual-Channel 4Gb Fibre Channel PCI Express - Protocol?

I need to know what kind of protocol that this board Apple Dual-Channel 4Gb Fibre Channel PCI Express work?
Do not know if it is SCSI or Ethernet protocol or some other protocol ...
Someone please tell me know?
THANK YOU

If anyone is interested, I found out that the Exabyte tape libraries don't like the Apple Fibre card. I switched to an Atto Fibre card and the connection to my Magnum 448 seems to be working great.

Reverse audio channels (PCI express X-Fi titanium)

2Reverse audio channels (PCI express X-Fi titanium)& Hi,
Today I bought an X-Fi titanium *hoping* it would have the option in the drivers to reverse my left channel to right channel and vice versa.
I have gone through a lot of trouble trying to achieve this and would definitely appreciate the help in finding a solution.
Why do I need this? When playing games I hear everything reversed *IN MY HEAD*. If I hear something left... it's actually on the right. Thats why I have to either reverse my speakers or wear my headphones backwards. BUT... I have a 00$ headset that doesnt allow me to reverse my headset because it only wears one way.
My game doesnt allow me to reverse the stereo. Does the creative X-Fi software/driver allow this in *any* way?
I appreciate the help!

VLC media player can reverse than stereo chanels for music and movies but i don't know of a way to apply it to games. [email protected]

[Radeon] RX300HM 256 PCI EXPRESS graphic issues

I recently bought this MSI card from a retailer down the street and have not been able to get it to run right so far except for about a half hour the other day.
I installed the card myself using the instructions from the retailer i bought it from saying to just put the card in since i have a ATI chipset and am using the same driver well i did that....
(Getting blurred resolution-brown coloring tint-Graphics as in EQ2 have lines going through them-Very Laggy in EQ2-HTML takes forever to load-Some download internet speeds are slow)So anyway I contacted my computer manufactuer and they ran me through a clean install of the card(Uninstalling through safe mode and installing the card again)did that....
Same results EXCEPT for some reason it WORKED GOOD for about a half hour then i got a driver error reseting the resolution then i had the same results again(as the above statement)so i contacted the driver manufacturer and asked them what was happening.
They told me i had 2 sets of utilitys running for my driver(which I did)thats why i got the error so I uninstalled them like they showed me and rebooted well....(same results as above)...I dont understand it should of worked but I not getting errors now....
So they gave me a last option to do a clean install their way..so I did...(same as above)...so they closed my case number.I will be contacting MSI tomorrow as my last option or whatever....I have yet to run 3D benchmark I gonna download it now and I'll tell u the results...anyway here's my specs...\/

Yes ATI and also my computer restarted yesterday when i was running EQ2 so I checked off the error response restart function
This has happened before due to a bad driver but i dont understand i have the latest drivers

What is the difference between PCI-x and PCI Express?

I hear the new dual core Power Macs have PCI Express slots. How are these different than the PCI-X slots in my old Power Mac?
jmf

PCI Express is faster than PCI-X and not a bus architecture. Each slot has its own dedicated bandwidth to and from the system controller.
PCI-X has a maximum clock speed of 133 MHz and a maximum throughput of just over 1 GBps.
PCI Express cards and slots are defined by their bandwidth, or number of data lanes — typically one lane, four lanes, eight lanes, or 16 lanes. At 250 MBps per lane, a four-lane slot can transfer data at up to 1 GBps and an eight-lane slot, up to 2 GBps. The new PowerMac G5s have one 16 lane slot, two four-lane slots, and one eight-lane slot.

PCI Express fibre channel card: chipset/model

Hi all,
I'm attempting to repurpose a first-generation Xserve RAID (with HSSDC2 ports) on an Intel-based Sun machine. My problem is that I need to find a Fibre Channel HBA which has SFP ports.
The first-gen Apple PCI Express card seems to fit the bill:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MA900G/A?mco=MTIxODk3Mw
According to several reports online, all Apple FC HBAs are re-branded LSI cards.
My question is, what chipset does this card use? And what is the equivalent LSI model number?
If someone who has this card installed could hit Apple System Profiler and paste the output for the FC card here that would be great

Yes, it is an LSI card.
Check out AlienRAID. It's a web site dedicated to running the XServe RAID in non-Apple environments. I used their site to get an XServe RAID running on a Sun server a few years ago, although I don't remember the details now.

LSI Logic Fibre Channel PCI Card

I have an Xserve PowerPC G5 Dual 2.3GHz (mid 2005). Have LSI Logic Fibre Channel PCI Card installed (Product: LSI7202XP).
My question: Can this Fibre Channel PCI Card be installed in a Apple xServe (Early 2008) - 2.8 GHz Xeon Quad-Core? Any info will be greatly appreciated.
-jason

I think there is. It is hard to believe that ~200MB/s read comnpared to 0,7MB/s write speeds are a feature rather than a bug/problem.
I haven´t tested the used xserve with another xraid, I used different server for the Xraid benchmarking.

Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI PCI-X Card

I'm connecting a SCSI backup tape drive to my Mac Pro. The tape drive instructions state that I'll need a SCSI host bus adapter. Will the Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI PCI-X card do the job or is a host bus adapter something different?

Are you sold on using tape? there is only one ATTO UL5D and you need PCI Express.
How about $99 for UltraSCSI 50-pin vs LVD Firewire to SCSI from Ratoc.

32 bit windows 7 and Two- 4GB sticks of RAM and dual channels

Hello,
I have a Desktop running Win 7 32 bit. At the moment I have 1 4GB stick of RAM in. I have another 4 GB stick of ram(Same brand as the first one) . I know win 7 32 can't go over 4GB of RAM but was wondering if I put both sticks in will I get better performance
because it will be using dual channels or will it just MAX using the first stick and never see the 2nd becasue it is already using the full 4GB off the fist stick.

Thanks for your reply. I understand in reality I have really about 3.25 gigs. But if I had both sticks in would it be using all that 3.25 on one stick or would it split the 3.25 between the two sticks.
If you have 2 sticks of 2gig in run on dual channels I am told performance is better then just having 1 stick of 4 gig. I am just wondering if if I used the 2 4gig sticks which will only give me 3.25 gig will it use the dual Channel which would help performance.

PCI express Multi channels Audio card ?

Hello, I need to build a Audio/Video player for an installation witch will run 365 days per year.
The system need to be fully automated and it need to have minimun human support.
I could use a Mac Pro for this since it's easier to setup the needed hardware such as the video card and the sound card, but the Mac Pro does not have light out management it does not fit on racks and it does not have redundant power supply.
So I'm trying to build this media server with xserve for the reason I explane above .
As video card I've found this ATI Radeon X1300 witch is good for my kind of application since I need to run a quicktime movie 1400x1050 Animation
For the sound I wish I could not use an external firewire card to minimize possible issues like power supply fault ( most firewire card are sold with little powersupply and very cheep power connectors )
So I'm searching for a PCI Express card to be integrated in the Xserve that could output 6 discrete audio channels from my quicktime movie.
Does anyone know any good one ?
thanks

Your question is very specific, so you might find better answers looking somewhere like M-Audio.
A quick search does, indeed, find a lack of PCIe-based solutions. However, you shouldn't necessarily discard PCI-X options. The XServe can accept either PCIe or PCI-X cards - you just need to order the PCI-X riser card for your server. That way you can still leverage the multitude of PCI-X options out there.

PCI-Express 4gb Xserve (early 2009) and Xserve Raid

Hi, I have one question.
Can I connect my Xserve (early 2009) with a dual 4Gb fibre PCI express card to an Xserve Raid (M9721LL/A) with only a Dual 2GB built in Fibre card? Or perhaps I need to buy a dual 2gb for my Xserve.?
Maybe the question is a little dumb but I am a newbie with these systems.
Thanks in advance
Sam

The 4Gb fibre channel ports are fully backwards-compatible with the 2Gb ports. You can connect them just fine, and they'll run at 2Gb.

K9N PLATINUM(NON SLI) DUAL CHANNEL MODE PROBLEM

hi
put a new system together with the following specs:
amd am2 3800+(2ghz)
k9n platinum 1.20 bios
2x512 kingston ddr2(667mhz)
pci video(yes not pci-e)have not decided which vid card to get yet.
500w psu 12v 35a,5v 25a,3.3v 25a
liteon dvd burner
seagate 300gb ide 7200/16 meg cache windows xp-pro sp2 with all updates.
not overclocking or even trying to.
no sata drives connected.
has never failed to post,boot windows and no lockups or blue screens.
ok,i am trying to get the memory to work in dual mode.
everytime i put the memory in the dual mode slots,the cpu clocks down to 1ghz instead of 2ghz.
verified by bios,windows and cpu-id
i have tried different memory(both ddr2 533 and 667)667 installed now.
also never had any install problems with windows and everything runs fine until i tried dual mode.
after the cpu clocks down to 1ghz,the only way to get it back to normal is a bios reset( load defaults
or press red button).
if i leave the memory as single channel then i have no issues.
also cpu-id says the chipset for my board is nforce 550,i thought k9n platinum had 570 nforce chipset?
this might just be a problem with cpu-id though.
any thoughts on the cpu down clock problem in dual channel mode?
thanks,jeff

1 assume you can get into BIOS with 1 stick only?
Go into the BIOS and manually set the timings and voltage to what your memory manufacturer recommends. Use a 2T command rate and see if it works.
Try both "sets" of dual channel slots, i.e. the two left slots or the two right slots.

MSI BIG BANG TRINERGY dual channel problem!

Hey forum, I just installed a newly bought msi big bang trinergy. Everything went according to plan except from the point where I installed the 4gb (2x2gb) ram dimms( I have the XMS3, 4gb kit by Corsair).
Let it be noted that i followed the instruction manual and installed the dimms in the proper slots. Then when the moment of truth came and powered up my pc, it wouldnt boot. It would go into an endless restart cycle without booting. Then i unplugged the dimm3 and started only using dimm1 and everything went well. I also switched the ram dimms (in case one of them was faulty) and placed it in dimm1 and again there was no problem.
My take on this situation is that there must be some hardware problem concerning DIMM3. I also run a BIOS update in hopes that something might change but no luck.
..So what is your take on this?
Thank you in advance for the advice.
P.S Since i had a P55 mobo before Big bang i read that format is not necessary so i didnt format the pc. Can that be the cause of the dual channel mal-function?

Quote from: Jack on 11-May-11, 22:57:43
Nope.
There are a couple of explanations for the behaviour:
1) there is a problem with the modules
2) the memory slot itself or underlying circuits is/are defective
3) there is a short circuit problem somewhere inside the case which basically blocks that particular memory slot
4) the CPU (or its memory controller) is defective
5) there is some sort of pin-contact problem [bad contacts between the board's socket pins and the contact pads of the processor], caused by bent or broken pins or by too much pressure exerted by the CPU's heatsink
I would start poking at explanation 3) by testing the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration and, in case that does not change anything, go for number 5): take off the heatsink and inspect both socket pins and contact pads for any irregularities [use a magnifying glass!]
I went to a technician to check the mobo where we tried different memory modules and cpu (100% working ) on a bench table.The pins on the mobo were not bent or anything. We checked all the points you mentioned that needed to be checked but still the problem persisted so it was a memory slot problem. Thanks for all the help! Really appreciate it, the replaced mobo works perfectly

The motherboard overview states: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X48C-Platinum.html#/?div=Detail
Quote
• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600 DRAM, 8GB Max
• Supports two unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDR2 667/800 DRAM, 4GB Max
With the last BIOS, it states that 4GB modules may be possible, but looking at the memory test report http://www.msi.com/file/test_report/TR10_1393.pdf it seems this was only done for DDR2 modules, as these are the only ones reflecting this.
Suggest you check with MSI technical if the BIOS should accommodate DDR3 4GB modules as well. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Do a CMOS clear, then once in the BIOS, set your DRAM ratio so that the DRAM is at 1066. See if that works.

Mac Mini (late 2012) ram upgrade: 8gb dual channel vs 10gb? Flex Mode?

I attempted to upgrade my Mac Mini (late 2012) from the stock 4gb of ram to 8gb. However, I messed up and didn't pay attention when buying the ram online and ordered 1x8gb stick rather than 2x4. Will losing dual channel with a 2/8 combo (10gb) make a difference that I will notice? Will having the additional 2gb make up for any lost performance? And finally, is flex mode available with the Mac Mini so that I'd still be running 4gb at dual channel and 6gb single?
The 8gb stick arrived and I'd like to install it but Ill send it back and get the 2x4 depending on what I hear back.
Thanks
Ryan

to the best of my knowledge, when upgrading your Mac mini's RAM, you must upgrade it with 2 SODIMM's at a time. When I bought my Mac mini Late 2012 model it had all the base level specs. Pretty soon the stock 4GB (2x 2GB) just wasn't fast enough. I bought a Crucial 16GB upgrade from Amazon (2x 8GB) and now my Mini is much faster especially when I am using Photoshop.
Only thing I would do next is trying to swap the boot HD to a SSD, but am unsure as my Mac mini late 2012 is under AppleCare through December 2015 and I do not know if it would void the warranty.

Dual Channel Ram in w510

I've got a w510. On Lenovo's site it says that it's capable of dual channel. i've got 2x2GB right now in my system at 1066. i ordered 2x4GB at 1066. my question is
will i still be able to run dual channel?
and if so, how do i arrange the ram being that two slots are in the back and the other two are on the other side underneath the keyboard.

Ram came in this morning. got lucky on the first try with getting it to run dual channel.
when i opened the ram slots on the back of the pc i placed a a 4gb stick on the left side.
then i lifted the keyboard for the other ram slots and they're placed on top of each other. i took the one on top out and placed a 4gb stick in there. then i placed that 2gb stick that was there and placed it in the only slot remaining. booted my pc and on the start up it said it was installing some stuff and something about dual. and then to make sure i checked cpu-z and it showed i was running dual.
this helped a bit on how to install the ram
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBEzYombu2c
went from a 5.9 to 7.2 on the windows index score. now my lowest is the harddrive which is at a 5.9. probably going to wait until SSD becomes a lot cheaper to get one.
