How to adjust IRQ for PCI card within BIOS - K7T Turbo

Hello,
I have a new Diamond firewire external 160 Gb harddisk.
In spite I have upgraded the BIOS for my K7T Turbo board to version 3.6 (by specs at MSI at least I should use version 3.4 to run 160 Gb HD's), I get I/O errors after trying to copy lot of data to the harddisk. ;( Afterwards I am losing contact to the device and get exclamation marks within the system configuration.
In searching for the errors, it could be the controller of the harddisk itself is not running proper, because I get NO fault by the firewire device within my PC, but just the Diamond controller + harddisk.
To make a last try if I can fix it, I want to give the internal firewire card an own IRQ number. Now with PnP options, many devices are sharing the same IRQ 11.
How can I set a fixed IRQ to the fourth (4e) PCI card within the BIOS?
Looking to the settings it seems I only can manage it when it is an ISA card, but those cards are not used any longer in modern mainboards.
Here are some screendumps of the errors.
1.
No problems after a hard reboot.

2. Closer look for the following devices.
The contents of the red boxe within the device system shall disappear after the error.. The blue ones do get exclamation marks

3+4. Error messages after a short while when trying to copy many data (above 4 Gb).
http://members.chello.nl/~l.obers/MSI/3_Error_message.gif
http://members.chello.nl/~l.obers/MSI/4_Error_message.gif
5. Errors within the system configuration.
Input 1 do get an exclamation mark first, afterwards input 2
http://members.chello.nl/~l.obers/MSI/5_many_data_error_b.gif
The input of the previuos mentioned red box "general volume" (one is of the Diamond controller), is lost.
Within the file explorer also the harddisk volumes are lost.
6. The log files show a controller error of the disk at IRQ 11
http://members.chello.nl/~l.obers/MSI/6_system_log.gif
Because no errors are found within the 1394 (firewire) device itself, I guess the problem is the Diamond controller of the harddisk.
But before going to the shop, I want to try to give the HD an own IRQ.
Regards, Léon Obers

Mmm. I just see some other options.
The device called "1394 CF type II IEEE 1394 SBP2 device is an extrenal firewire Compact flash reader, not a Diamond controller. (It is connected, during the test, but not used for copying files).
In that case, it could be, that the firewire card itself is the troublesome device. First CF-card reader is lost from connection (exclamation mark), afterwards the Firewire harddisk.

How to simutaneously use 2 PCI cards, one with traditional DAQ, the other with DAQmx?

Hi,
I am currently trying to debug a system that used to work.. but sadly isnt anymore
A single computer contains 2 PCI cards (6110 & 6036E). The 6110 card is controlled by a fairly old software, programmed in labview, and hence, using Traditional NI-DAQ. The 6036e card is controlled by a more recent soft, programmed in LV as well but using DAQmx.
the AI/AO of the 6110 card is only momentarily used (20 sec consecutively, every minute) while the 6036E card is continuously receiving and sending data on its AI/AO.
Now the problem: the program that control the 6036E card freezes every time that the old prog access the 6110 card.. and then it works again perfectly until the next time that the 6110 card is used.
So my question: how can I make those 2 cards work simultaneously?
I dont think that it is because of the software nor because of the computer lack of memory/CPU if it used to work in the past. It might be about a wrong configuration of cards in the MAX but I couldnt find anything wrong there (no problem when accessing AI/AO of both cards through "test panel")
Thank you very much for you help.

That's what bugs me. The only thing that those 2 cards share is an AO of the 6110 connected to an AI of the 6036.
For the rest, nothing is common. The 1st program only deal with device1, while the 2nd prog only access dev2. There shouldnt be any problem and everything is working fine separately. Hence, why I was wondering if the traditional daq and daqmx might conflict on a same computer.
I just cant find out why the 2nd program controling the daqmx card just freeze everytime the 1st program access the traditional card. It actually doesnt freeze completly but becomes soooo slow, with about only 2 iterations of the main while loop during those 15-20 sec (instead of the normal 3-4000 iterations during such a period).
The computer specs are a 2.2ghz proc for 1G of ram and running XP, so it should be ok.. even though the computer does slow a bit down when the 1st prog access the traditional card.

Labview programming for pci cards

Hi all,
I need to write a program in labview that communicates with a pci dio 96 card.
I need to set a bit to 1 (0th port and 5th bit) periodically..
how can I communicate with the pci card from the labview..
is there any driver that we can use for this..
Thanks,
Vijay

Thanks Dennis,
Actually I dont think I have any drivers installed.. Because, I used the tap test interface in MAX to find that I have to trigger the 5th line of 0th port of a pci dio 96 card to trigger my device.
I have downloaded and installed Daqmx that suits my labview version and started exploring the options.
Now, I am struggling hard to figure out how to change my requirement that I have mentioned above into an actual program in labview.
All I have is a pci dio 96 card installed, labview 8.2 and daqmx that supports my labview version. I have to make one of the lines to 1 and 0 alternatively.
Can anyone point to a tutorial or some discussion that could help me kick start.
Thank you,
VJ
Search in the examples\DAQmx\Digital folder inside your LabVIEW installation. There are several examples that should give you enough hints at how to go about that. And if you ever get at other problems there are many many more directories in that example folder. :
And an example finder to help you look for the right examples can be found in the Help menu.

System profiler "information is not available" for PCI cards

After swapping two cards in their slots, I get the message system profiler "information is not available" for all PCI cards. Mac Pro 4 core 2.66, OS X 4.11 server. The cards are still working. I tried clearing PRAM, etc. Is this a hardware problem or just system profiler being difficult? Is there any way to tell?

That is a bit odd. Maybe try forcing kextd to run can resolve. You might be working off cached info and it is giving System Profiler a hard time. Run this command and then reboot:
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
That will update the modify time of the Extensions folder and trick the system into thinking you installed new drivers. This will force an update of the kernel caches when you reboot.
Not sure it this will do it, but best I could think of.
Hope it helps.

Shopping for PCI cards

I'm looking for ::
USB 2.0
Firewire 800
SATA controller
Gigabit ethernet
I'd love to get combo cards if possible. i.e. USB/firewire and Gigabit/SATA. Really any combination of those 4 would be fantastic.
any recomendations? I'm tired of searching eBay and "screening" every auction to see if the PCI cards are compatable with my slots.
OWC has a limited selection
anyone know of any *tried and true* devices?

Mike Lowry wrote:
Thanks.
not a whole lot of firewire 800 products. not to mention cards compatable with my G3 desktop.
helpfull still.
That may be the difficulty in getting the latest USB2/FW800/Gigabit/SATA cards, since when the PCI hardware was introduced with those newer standards the beige G3 was already a dinosaur, so they were likely designed for official support and compatibility with the current computer models at the time and since.
You might have better luck with compatibility with the older USB1/FW400/ATA card for example. (Not sure why you need Gigabit, if the on-board Ethernet is still functional anyway.) That's not to say the newer cards won't work at all, but you may be the guinea pig who finds out if they do. I'd be interested in your results with the SATA, if you can get that to work or not. I haven't heard of any one using them in the G3 here, if so I must have missed it.
Sonnet had a Tempo Trio card that combined USB/FW/ATA, not sure what the latest version of that is now. They provide a good support section with the latest Mac drivers and firmware updates for their older products, also the ACARD brand has several Mac hard drive controllers. Go for a hardware RAID card if you really want to boost disc read/write performance, all the other interface theoretical speeds are still limited by the hard drive read/write heads. With a striped RAID 0, two heads are better than one, as they can operate simultaneously. Let me know if you can get those 250GB SATA working in a RAID 0, I am thinking about going that route when I run out of space with my 2x120GB ATA66 RAID, if I keep the computer going that long. Although the ATA133 card may work just as well.
Anybody using either of these SATA cards in their Beige G3?

Y-splitter cable for PCIe card

I am considering a Dynex 2-Port FireWire 800 and 1-Port FireWire 400 PCIe Adapter (DX-PCI2PF) for my Mac Pro. The card has a 4-pin power connector to receive extra power, if desired.
Where can I find a cable that goes from one of the power connectors on the motherboard of the mac Pro, split it, and one of the Y legs go to the 4-pin connector on the card?
I could do without a Y. But, since one of the power connectors on the motherboard is already used for a 2nd video card, I would like to give myself an extra power connection after installing the Dynex card.

*The hatter* - Thanks for your quick reply!
Actually, I was looking at this card on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Dynex-2-Port-800-1-Port-400-FireWire-PCIe-Adapter-DX-PCW0QQitemZ330419493351QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4cee8959e7#h t_775wt941
The description states "Built-in 4-pin power connector for receiving extra power supply." That's why I became curious.
The FW800 port on the back of my Mac Pro is already used to connect to a FW800 hub that is 15 feet away. And, I want to have at least two more FW800 ports to attach (1) OWC's Mercury On-The-Go Pro drive and (2) MacBook Pro in Target Disk Mode.
For my purpose, do you know that these PCIe cards would not need extra power supply?
Also, what would one connect to these PCIe cards that necessitates extra power supply?

How to adjust Date for the HPBEA4E7 (HP Photosmart 5520 series)

Can somebody tell me how to adjust the date for my HPBEA4E7 (HP Photosmart 5520 series)?
For example, I changed the black cartridge yesterday and the printer tells me that I did that on 01/01/2015.

Hi @PieterF3rd
Most of our printers have a setting in the Preferences menu to change the date and time, but it appears this one does not. On the front panel of the printer, touch the little wrench in the top tight hand corner to access the settings menu. In the Setup menu select the Preferences menu and check there, if it is not there maybe check the tools menu. From what I can see, the option is not there, but it certainly should be.
If you can't find the option, I would give us a call and express the issue to a phone professional. It is possible that that connecting the printer to a network and enabling the Web Services will automatically update the date and time, but this should be necessary considering not all customers have network access.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
I hope this helps.

How to adjust speed of Flash animation within Adobe Captivate

I have three Flash animations that were bought from istockphoto.com. The animations were imported into the project within Captivate. When the individual slides are playing in the project, the speed and timing is perfect. When the project is then to be published to preview the entire project as a whole, all of the animations speed up and are playing continuously throughout the desired slide. I don't know how to slow down the animation and have it play only one time through. What are the properties that I need to adjust in order to slow down the animation?

Hello,
This is a possibility, not sure: the framerate for Captivate is normally 30fps whereas the default framerate in Flash is 25fps. You can try to change the fps in the Captivate project, in the Preferences (see screenshot)

How to adjust RPM for the AMD stockfan

How can I manually adjust the RPM from my AMD stock Fan. I already saw post where there stock fan was running at 4000 RPM. Mine does not run over 2700RPM.

Enabling CnQ gives you more control, though, as well as cool quiet goodness.
The way to control RPM manually via Corecenter is by clicking on the "CoreCenter" logo, which will give you fan speed options. If you select user mode you can control the fan speed divider yourself.
Keep in mind this is only relative to the RPM effective on boot-up. If for some reason during POST the mobo thought everything was cool it might have backed off the fan speed and this will be your max when you boot Windows.
Some people suggest changing the BIOS auto CPU fan setting to 40C with a tolerance of 2 degrees in order to compensate for this behavior. At least you should have consistent RPM that way, and can then play with speeds using CoreCenter or SpeedFan vel sim.
Thx for that info

Can PXI card be transparently substituted for PCI card in VME control?

Background:
We are purchasing a displacement-measuring-interferometer system from Zygo that ships with your NI VME-PCI8012 (777244-03) PCI to VME bridge. The Zygo system includes drivers for the bridge and a Windows application that runs on the host PC to acquire data from the measurement boards in the VME chassis. I wish to connect this system to my NI PXI-based data acquisition system (DAS).
Question 1:
I need to know if your NI VME-PXI8015, "PXI-8320, MXI-2 System Extender, Board Only Kit" (777573-01) can be installed in my PXI DAS and connected to the VME controller board, and function transparently to the Zygo Windows application that drives the VME system.
Question 2:
Our PXI-based DAS has
an embedded controller (NI PXI-8187) that is running Windows XP. Are the drivers that come with the PXI and PCI bridge cards compatible with Windows XP?
Thank you for your help and I look forward to your reply.
John Price

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. Before I respond to your new question, I need to clear something up from my previous response. I misunderstood what you were asking, and posted some information that needs to be clarified.
MXI-3, while a successor to MXI-2, is quite different from MXI-2. MXI-3 is a PCI to PCI bridge , where MXI-2 is a VME to VME bridge. Also, MXI-2 requires the proper driver to function correctly.
For more information about the differences between MXI-3 and MXI-2 see the KnowledgeBase article, Upgrading VXI Systems from VXI-MXI-2 to VXI-8340 Series (MXI-3)
For the current driver required for MXI-2 to function with your
operating system, refer to Current NI-VXI Driver Versions
However this does not change the fact that you CAN replace the PCI-MXI-2 controller that shipped with your Zygo system with a PXI-MXI-2 controller.
As far as working around Zygo's use of the 2.1.1 driver goes, you could try to get your PXI system to work with the 2.1.1 driver. By all that I can tell, the 2.1.1 driver was developed to support PCI-MXI-2 on several operating systems, including Windows 2000, NT, ME, 98, and 95, and so you would need to be operating under in one of the supported operating systems in order for the driver to even be a possible solution. So, assuming you are using a supported operating system, I would download that 2.1.1 driver and install it in your system, and go from there. You can get directly to PCI-MXI-2 driver for Windows by clicking here.
Hopefully this gets you going, but let me know what ends up happening. Good luck!

How to remove tray for SIM card?

Does anyone know how to open the tray to replace a SIM card? I replaced my original SIM card with an international one while traveling in Africa and now I can't open the tray to return the original SIM card. Would an\ppreciate any help. Thanks.

Felipe.
Thanks so much for your reply. I found out from other replies that it is necessary to turn the phone off before trying to open the tray with a paper clip. It worked and now I have a working phone. The online help tool is marvelous. Thanks and have a good day.
