P6N Diamond, SLI question: where does the 2nd card go?

As per title, I have a P6N Diamond motherboard with 4 video card slots (four PCI-e x16), two yellow + two white. I have a single GPU/card in the first slot as usual, but I got a 2nd GPU/card today. Where does it go so I could get 16x16 SLI? Manual is unclear.
2nd white slot (third PCI-e x16) or the yellow (second PCI-e x16) ?
I ask because this motherboard has non-standard color coding. Even the RAM slots are not color coded (channel-wise). Instead of A-B-A-B color arrangement on the RAM slots as every other motherboard out there, this motherboard has A-A-B-B arrangement.

Update: First of all, the case connectors on the motherboard are in the way for SLI purposes. They are too tall and block the insertion of the second card. On my old ASUS moterboard the case pins were on the bottom of the PCB, out of the way, but on this MSI motherboard they are on the side, lined up with the PCI-e x16 slot. Really dumb design! It might be fine for short video cards like 9600GT or similar, but for extended length dual slot video cards like GTX260 (which what I'm using) they are in the way, so much that the second card can't be inserted into the slot at all.
I spent two hours modding the connectors. I had to snap and break the plastic plugs, remove the metal pins and mod them so they are only 3mm tall, instead of 9mm. I know this motherboard is old so MSI couldn't plan for GTX260/280 and other long cards, but cards like 7950GX2 and similar did exist and predate this motherboard so there is no excuse for MSI for placing the connectors in that position.
Anyways, warning for any P6N Diamond owners: if you have extended length or longer dual slot video cards like GTX 260, GTX 280, and 4870x2 you will have problems with clearance and would need to do some severe modding or get a different motherboard.

  • Newbie cluster question: where does the admin server live?

    Hello, I'm looking at clustering for our application where I work, and so I'm reading through the cluster-related documentation for 11g. I have a sort of an architecture question: where should the admin server be started? Hypothetically speaking, if you have two nodes for your cluster, would the AdminServer run on a 3rd box which sort of stood in front of the two nodes?
    Thanks much -

    The ideal situation would be for your admin server to be separate from the machines hosting your managed server. This allows you to control access to the admin server, eliminate the performance impact if you have the admin + managed on the same host, and limits impact if youir #1 host fails, etc.
    But companies may be unwilling to invest in a distinct (3rd) host just for the admin server, especially if you have multiple environments ( prod, testing, dev, etc. ).
    So usually the admin winds up sharing the host with a managed server.

  • Random Vectors/images color inverted in print, but not in PDF. Where does the fault lie?

    Sent a PDF to the newspaper printer and some of the images had inverted/strange colors. However...
    In one case I had duplicate images of a pink vector flower. SOME of the flowers were inverted, to a dark blue/black, and some were fine(pink). These were embedded vectors.
    In other instances vectors, went from orange to blue/black, pink to blue/black, and yellow/white to blue black. I specify because in one vector image, a ring, the ring was yellow, but the diamond was white, and it all changed to the same blue/black in print.
    Finally, there were two greyscale Tiff photographs of a pair of ladies. These are not embedded, and have not been altered at all and since the last time this paper has been printed, (which printed fine). This time, they were inverted. Nothing else on the page was inverted.
    As far as I can tell, there is not a separation issue, and I have saved the file from InDesign CC to pdf using the same settings as dozens of times before. The pdf on my end looks fine. The printer says they just print what they receive, but as far as I can tell, there is no issue on our end. The fact that some duplicated images printed fine, and others did not seem to confirm this. Everything is properly linked. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a pdf, InDesign, or even an adobe problem at all, or it is something on their end? I have heard of inverted colors before, but can't find a solution (especially as I can't even see the problem on my end.)
    Using Windows 8, up-to-date InDesign CC, and Acrobat Pro, Illustrator CS6 ver.16.2.0 64bit
    I have no idea what the printer uses.

    Where does the fault lie? - in an environment where they (the newsprinter) collect up front, have no responsibility for quality and arrogantly believe, perhaps correctly, that you'll be back with another paying job in the future.
    Check the file you sent via Acrobat Preflight or Output Preview for RGB elements.
    Check the file you sent via Acrobat Preflight - Checks - For Transparency Used
    Do any of these elements off color involve rgb or interact (with or near) any transparency?
    (InDesign could show these attributes via the links panel or a Live Preflight. Both can be (probably should be in your case) changed via the PDF Export)

    Hi Ganesh,
    You can also configure the ExportRootDirectory as described <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/61/1834414b75de2be10000000a1550b0/content.htm">here</a>.
    By default the export will be saved on the portal server under ...\usr\sap\<System ID>\SYS\global\pcd\Export
    but you get also a link to download the file on your client.
    Hope it helps,

  • Where does the personalized page definition exist in the database?

    Hey all,
    Where does the personalized page definition exist in the database(which top)?From the functional adminitartor i see the path as "/oracle/apps/ar/creditmgt/analysis/casefolder/webui/customizations/responsibility/12345/pagename.xml" where does this structure actually exist in the file system? i want to know the header package or root directory of "/oracle/apps/ar/creditmgt/analysis/casefolder/webui/customizations/"
    one more question the gurus is if i want to migrate a personalization from on instance to another should i have the same above folder structure?
    Like i export the customized page from my T1 test instance to T1 file system now i move this to T2 file system...now in my T2 file system should i have similar structure like "XX_TOP/oracle/apps/ar/creditmgt/analysis/casefolder/webui/customizations/" for successful migration?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sameer.T

    You perobably need someone more 'tecchie' than me to answer the first question. But, the structure will already exist as it is built into the application.
    To answer your second question, to transfer the personalisation from one instance to the other, you can use the Functional Administrator responsibility. Your DBA will need to create a 'common' directory which is available to both instances. If the two instances cannot 'talk to each other', then he may have to FTP the XML files from one instance to the other.
    When you export from instance A, the appropriate structure will be built underneath the root 'transfer' directory described above. In the target environment, you import the same structure.
    As personalisations are at various levels, e.g. responsibility, function etc. Beware that at the responsibility level, the match between the responsibility name on the source and target systems is done by the responsibikity key. As long as this is the same in both environments, the personalisation will be transferred. If it is different it won't work!
    I hope this helps answer the question.
    Regards
    Tim

    Where does the data get saved from (notepad) or Notes on Windows Mobile 5?
    (ON the Phone)  Sticky note like program WM5
    I ask because I synced my Blackjack 1 to my pc after about a year and MANY notes later, All the notes from the PC remained but ALL new notes on phone (a years worth) were deleted from the phone.
    I would like to attempt a data recovery on my mobile device- that was an insane endeavor but i got it to work now i just need to know what to look for (what type of files to recover) and or where to recover from?
    I did make the phone a drive already and have data recovery software that can pull deleted files from the phone in fat or raw data format.

  • Where does the logging in RDBMSRealm go  --and-- are some JavaDocs missing?

    I see that a LogOutputStream is created in the example
    class RDBMSRealm, but where do all of the log
    statements go. The LogOutputStream is created as:
    log = new LogOutputStream("RDBMSRealm");
    but I do not see and file called RDBMSRealm and/or
    I do not see the log statements on stdout.
    BTW, I do have logging set to the most detailed
    level (Info) from the console if this matters.
    Also, are there some JavaDocs missing from
    Weblogic's Reference website at
    http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs60/javadocs/index.html
    LogOutputStream is an example. I do not see the
    class when I select the package
    weblogic.logging.

    Much Thanks

    Thanks Terry,
    Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am using WL6.0.
    Does anyone know what I need to do to get the RDBMS Realm log to start on
    WL6.0.
    About the missing JavaDocs: Also, if I am doing development using these
    classes I still do not
    understand why they are not on the 6.0 refernce site!
    About the missing JavaDocs,
    I see java docs for a lot of classes, but what document do I use that
    helps me to understand the entire framework? The Programming
    Weblogic Security does give this information.
    Example question: how do I get a reference to the realm to create
    users? Should I even be doing this?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you are using WLS5.1 you much set the property
    weblogic.security.realm.debug=true
    then this information will be sent to stdout. This is set to false by
    default, as there is a lot of information, and it is a big performance
    hit.
    I think weblogic likes to avoid some of its APIs being public, which is
    annoying at times, but probably reasonable

    Nick -- Thanks for the kind words.
    While we don't have plans to make the look and feel available outside of the IDE,

    Java community such as

    There is a distinct interest in developing C# clients purely due to the
    fact
    that Swing doesnt perform and doesnt look good. JDK1.4 reportedly has
    numerous performance improvents. What is missing is a good look and feel.
    The Jelly Beans look and feel is quite good (I suspect that it is no
    accident that its flat look is similar to Visual Studion .NET.).
    I think that encouraging developers to remain with Java for GUI clients
    can
    only be good for Java and in turn J2EE as a whole. A pure java environment
    would be much better than a deliberatly mixed environment. Java RMI is
    much
    simpler than SOAP, etc.
    Aside from the ultruistic viewpoint, we would dearly like to use it in
    our
    Swing applications - perhaps we can stave off a turn to C# / .net clients.

  • Where does the output of  System.out.write go??

    My question might be silly... but i couldn't find out the exact answer anywhere..
    Where does the output of System.out.write go??!! I am not getting anything in the console.. below is the snippet!
    public class TestWriteApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         char a = 'c';
         System.out.write((byte)a);
    PEACE,
    Sandeep

    Is goes to the console. But a write of a byte isn't the way to see it.
    Try something that will show up easier like
    System.out.println("Hello World");What OS are you using? Are you using a command window? Or a GUI like Netbeans?

  • Where does the processing take place when using a remote front panel?

    Hi,
    I am considering upgrading my LabView software from 6i to 6.1 for the new "two click" remote front panel feature. I have already seen a demo of this feature but have just a few questions before I get the upgrade:
    My setup consists of several pieces of equipment connected to Labview via GPIB, to aid in the evaluation of a new microchip.
    1. I wish to grant control of the setup to anyone with a web browser, Is the remote monitoring feature compatible with both Netscape and IE?
    2. The VI which controls the setup is currently located on the PC beside my setup. When I embed a VI in a remote front panel, where does the processing take place, is the local VI still controlling the setup? and
    the remote panel just sending and receiving data from the local VI.
    Thanks, Troy

    The computer which we refer to as the server, the one with the GPIB card
    in your case, will execute as it does now. In fact, its window will
    even be open. The remote client computer, the one with the web browser
    will be running the runtime engine and processing user events, value
    change and property/method events from the server. So in reality, both
    computers will be sharing the load a bit. This allows for very small
    packets to be sent between the computers. It is in fact quite similar
    to publishing the data between the computers using datasocket.
    One thing to keep in mind. Standard LV includes a license for one
    connection. If you want to allow for multiple web browsers to view at
    the same time, additional licenses are available. Also, only one user,
    remote or server may be in control of the panel at a time. That means
    that if you want to be able to operate the panel, changing kn
    obs or
    flipping switches, the others will become viewers only until you give up
    control. Hopefully this isn't a surprise, but I thought you might want
    to hear about it now.
