I did what you said and it worked. I pulled the card out and inserted it again. Pushed it a little bit harder in the slot and now it says x16 like it use to.
Thanks again!

That's why is good to have hammer around just in case

Two Gainward 6800 Ultras in SLi mode - PCIe VGA Link Width: 8x

I have a K8N Diamond SLi board with two Gainward 6800 Ultras. When I have just one card inserted I get "PCIe VGA Link Width: 16x" in the BIOS, but when I have both cards in I get only "PCIe VGA Link Width: 8x", is this correct?
I also get a shaky/trembling display in everything direct3d when I'm in SLi mode, as soon as I turn it off the image is rock solid. It's like the complete image on screen shifts one vertical pixel line up and then back to normal again.. this happens at regular intervals while playing games and it's very annoying :\ Any ideas?

Check your BIOS configurations concerning SLI settings, PCI-E settings and so forth. Have you run any benchmarks with the SLI and Balance Bar modes enabled? You will find both in nVidia Settings! That should tell you if any one card is not pushing it's load!

Why my PCIE Link Width is only x1 instead of x16

Hi Everyone,
I've got a MSI6600GT 128mb installed in my MSI K8N SLI (7185). During bootup i noticed that my bios reporting that the 6600GT is having a link width of only x1. However when go into windows it reported that i have a x16 link width under the windows advanced tab.
I have the following : MSI K8N (7185)
AMD 3200+ (venice) o/c 2180
APACER DDR400 1Gig RAM
WD SATA 160GB
MSI6600GT 128mb DDR3 o/c Core: 560 Mhz
Ram: 1160 Mhz
Forceware : 77.77, 82.15
My 3D Mark score really sux compared to others that have similiar if not lower that than mine. Plus i even O/C my cpu, ram and graphics cards and yet i still get a low score compared to others. ANd yes my system is stable cause i use Prime95 (blend mode) for 3 hours and i play FEAR and Oblivion without crashing (medium setting of course :P).
3dmark 05 (3d test only) at 1024x768 = 2515
Could the link width be the problem??? Can some1 please help me if i can chabge the PCIE link with to x16.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the reply. But according to an article on AMD websites, it tells a different story. Here an excerpt of it :
"The PCIE specification defines x1, x2, x4, x8, x12, x16, and x32 link widths. The x1 PCIE link was designed to replace the PCI bus. The x16 link is intended to replace AGP*. The x32 link remains unimplemented.
PCIE's potential bandwidth will change the design of the typical PC and encourage the creation of more bandwidth-intensive applications.
* AGP, which was designed to take some of the load off PCI, is similar to PCI and shares some of the same problems – however, it does have some distinctive features. AGP was created specifically for graphics cards and designed to share a portion of main memory to store rendering data, rather than having to load the data into the onboard video memory. New generation video cards sometimes require two separate power connectors, because they outstrip AGP's energy supply capabilities. While the AGP bus can supply a maximum of 25 watts, PCIE can supply 60 watts now and up to 75 watts in the future, thus cutting the need for extra cables. "
Article: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ComputingSolutions/0,,30_288_13265_13295%5E13334,00.html
Therefore, my PCIE Link should be x16 since x16 is designed for graphic cards??? Isnt x1 tells us the bandwith throughput isntead of how many cards it can support???
Can someone explain to me in more detailed manner regarding thsi issue and wether my MB got it wrong in assigning my VGA card to x1 instead of x16?. Also on MSI website it listed the 6600GT as a PCIEx16 device.
Please help as any help is very much appreciated.

Problem of PCI express link width and speed

hello,
I instantiate the pci express core v1.7 into a pci express endpoint and the core was configured as GEN I x8 or GEN II x4. By using the example design Xilinx offered in the ipcore dir, I could read and write device by PIO mode.
However, when I check the device’s link width and speed by using lspci –vvvv in Linux, I found that no matter what configurations I set, the device link is always trained as GEN I x1, which means the throughput of device, reduce 8 times. May the most important problem is that all logic in the user layer upon transaction layer are written at 250MHz, and if link width and speed are limited 2.5G/T and x1, I need to change user logic circuit which is a huge work.
So my question is how to change the PCI express link width and speed in OS side, or I need to change a new motherboard?
(I guess it related with motherboard, and I check that the PCI express slot in motherboard support GEN II X16. Another issue, when I insert a PCI express GEN II x8 device, the device is also trained as GEN I x1).

NI PCIe-1433 Camera Link frame grabber programming using VC++

Hello, I have a Basler Camera Link-compatible camera and they use the NI PCIe-1433 Camera Link frame grabber as the image acquisition device.
Right now, I want to develop some applications on that camera and need to do programming on the NI PCIe-1433 by VC++.
So I want to know where I can find the software development kit for the NI PCIe-1433. For example, I can control the camera to grab the image by using the different functions(such as imgGrab(), or somthing like that ) from that software development kit.If there are some sample code that would be better.

Hi Wrsbj,
The IMAQ functions that you mentioned are contained in the IMAQ driver, which is used to acquire from Camera Link frame grabbers. I would also check the compatibility chart, to make sure that you get the version you need. As for example programs, you can take a look at this KnowledgeBase article concerning building and running the IMAQ examples in VC++.

İnteresting issue DKA 790GX platinium, pci-e VGA and onboard works together

yesterday i was playing game and i got bsod. then i restarted and device manager found pci-xxx device
then i checked device manager in vga partition, i have hd 6870 and hd 3300 works together. and 4gb of ram is now 3.75gb
but i connected pci-e vga and works well. how can onboard activate while pci-e vga plug in?
there is an issue about bios? it is latest bios 1.G installed.
i have to rollback bios to 1.F? anyone meet same issue like me?

Alright, so the module is already loaded. However, I was able to run ekiga and get it to work fine with sudo. When I attempt to run at console from my user account I get:
(ekiga:7290): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strchug: assertion `string != NULL' failed
I've checked all the permissions and everything looks correct, but I am not sure how to check if its udev causing a problem or some other mysterious permission I am unaware of.

Solaris 8 says: "Link down, Cable Problem?"

I have these on my home LAN:
1. Sun Ultra 5 Solaris 8
2. Win 2000 PC
3. Win NT laptop
They are all hooked into a LinkSys Router.
The Router is hooked into my Motorala Cable Modem.
Here's the problem:
The PC and the laptop can see each other on the LAN.
The Solaris 8 is only visible on the Lan INTERMITTENTLY.
The lights on the Router for the PC and laptop are always ON.
When I reboot the Solaris box, the lights on the Router sometimes come ON, and sometimes they stay OFF. When they stay OFF, I see the message: "Link down, Cable Problem?" during reboot.
I have tried different cables, and tried various combinations of the 4 avalable ports on the back of my Router.
If I plug in the Sun box DIRECTLY into my cable modem, then I don't see the above message. (but then I don't have a LAN anymore)
Please help, I've been struggling with this for a while now.
Thanks,
Irshad Ahmed (I am relatively new to Sun)

Hi
You have not indicated if you have the router ethernet ports working
at 100Mbps or 10Mbps. Depending on this sometimes, Sun systems may
not be correctly auto-negotiating their ethernet port settings.
You may set these parameters to force Sun Ultra 5 to a 100Mbps mode or a 10Mbps mode.
For forcing it to 100Mbps, Full Duplex mode and disabling the auto-negotiation, put these entries in /etc/system:
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
Conversely, if you want to force your Sun to work on 10Mbps, Full
duplex mode, (if your router does not support 100Mbps) in the same
/etc/system file, put the following entries :
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
One of these should solve your problem. You need to reboot the system
after putting these entries.
You can also check the port at the OK prompt using the command
"watch-net". This test the onboard ethernet interface.
You may also apply the hme patch released by Sun that fixes many
known problems with hme ethernet driver. The patch id is 108981-03.

Hme0: Link Down - cable problem?

i've a problem i've buyed an ultra 10 (used)
i've reinstalled solaris 10 01/06
when it boot the o.s. it give this error message "hme0: Link Down - cable problem?"
and network don't work.
i cannot ping my router but i've gave to my sun an ip of the same netmask (sun ip 192.168.1.88 router ip 192.168.1.1)
i've checked the cable and it's good (it work with a normal pc)
the led on the switch is on (it's green)
maybe i need some patch
how can i do?

gio,
You didn't necesarily do anything wrong.
You do not necessarily have any broken equipment.
There may just be somthing that is incomplete in the setup.
Begin by checking if your network settings were set up correctly by running:
# ifconfig -a
(it's usually best to troubleshoot while you are root user)
If the output from the ifconfig command seem to be complete, you could always think about reconfiguring the NIC all over again.
If you are not sure, then just paste the entire output results back here.
Also, use the forum search function, using keyword sys-unconfig.
Next, read the Solaris man pages for sys-unconfig.
That command will force you to repeat the setup of the connection.

Howto Link Down-Cable problem?

Hi,
I am having a Ultra Sparc 5 with a hme interface and a quad card. When the machine boots it checks at boot prom level all 5 interface and reports for all qfe interfaces "Link Down-Cable problem?". All qfe interfaces do not have a ethernet connx but I also do not want to deinstall the quad card. Is there any possibility to turn thoose "interface checks" off.
Thanks Marcus

Never mind I just figured out that thoose checks just run after the boot cdrom command.

Hi Maastricht2014,
Until and unless you remember the password to your old email address, you will not be able to access the eBooks as those eBooks are only authorized with your old email address only.
The only workaround or alternative to access your eBooks will be to contact the eBook vendor and ask them to migrate the eBook from your old email to the new one.
Hope that Helps!

PCIe comes up but link width is reduced

using Vivado to implment on a Kintex-7 device a PCIe hard core. Got to load and have our linux machine recognize the device. It can see that it is a 4x width device but the LnkSta is 1x. user_link_up is high and when going through debug guide (AR 56616), it only give direction if user_link_up is high and core not seen. I can see the core and my user_link_up is high so any ideas of things to try to debug this.
Should note this is a new board design not on a Dev. board .

I seem to recall debugging a similar issue and finding that you can get a little more information on why the additional lanes did not link up. In my case it happened quite early in the process and I found that the boards were mis-manufactured with some lanes coupled with 10 nF caps instead of the required 100 nF caps. These need to be sized correctly for the PCIe lane detection scheme where the transmitters sense the load to determine which lanes are physically connected.

MSI K8N-Neo4 and PCI-E x4

Hi Folks,
I've got an MSI K8N-Neo4 (MS-7125) motherboard that I'm looking to add a RAID card to. It's got a PCI-Express x4 slot on the board that I'd like to utilize. However, I've seen some conflicting information regarding it's use. In the manual on page 2-26 it states "PCI Express x4 Slot (Support PCI-E x2 device Only)". However when I look at the webpage for the board at http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum& it makes no mention of this limitation.
The main reason why I'm wondering is because I'd like to add a HighPoint RocketRAID SATA raid controller to my system. If the slot can handle x4 cards, then I'll purchase the 2310 model, which is an x4. If it cannot, then I'll purchase the 2300, which is an x2 model. I've seen some mentions of other people on the forums with K8N-Neo4 boards using the 2320 (an x4 card with 8 SATA ports instead of 4 on the 2310), but haven't seen what sort of bandwidth they're getting. Are you actually able to get PCI-E x4 bandwidth out of this port? Or will it downgrade it to PCI-E x2 or PCI-E x1 (the PCI-E spec says that when cards a plugged into a different size port they only need to be supported at x1)? Or, and even better question, will it even work?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Those are not different then from what's on the motherboard
Want a real one? Look at this: >>Real one!<<
That's real raid controller.....
What you mention is just the same as the onboard stuff.
As for the Linux raid stuff, I presume you mean the Linux Software raid, no those controllers aren't that good, but the High-points aren't that good either.
Heck, they don't even have their own CPU or memory.....the one I showed you has and is WAY faster
(PS. sample given is PCIx, won't fit your board, but that's a raid controller!)
Okay, that still doesn't answer my question about the PCI-E slot. You make a decent point, but I was more using the Highpoints as an example and because they came up in several searches of the forum. For the sake of getting a real answer, lets assume it is a real RAID card, such as the PROMISE SuperTrak EX8350 RTL, which according to the Serial ATA on Linux page is a real raid card and all that. Will it work in the PCI-E x4 slot on the MSI K8N-Neo4 Platinum or not?
All I really want to know is if the slot can actually run a PCI-E x4 card or not. The documentation contradicts itself.
