Which slot....

Hi all,
Which slot should I install my sonnet firewire card in? Is there a preference, or will it not matter? Cheers.

Hi Forrest,
Thanks for the reply. I'll take my pick then! Cheers.

I just put 8 gb of memory into my new mini, but the computer is only reading 4gb. It tells me that bank 0 has 4 gb and that bank 1 is empty. Which slot is "o" and which slot is "1" ? I re-wiggled the new memory sticks, but it still only reads one of them.

I just added two new memory sticks to my new mac mini, each stick has 4 gb. The computer tells me that it now (with the new memory) only has 4 gb total, however. It says that bank "O" had 4 gb and bank "1" is empty. My two questions are... Which slot is bank o and which slot is bank 1? The computer didn't beep or anything, so I think its just that it doesn't recognize one card. I wiggled them again, in case maybe I didn't put them in tight or something, to no effect. Any suggestions on what I may not have done right???

Same issue here. All chips, old and new working in bottom slot 0 but nothing working in slot 1 (top.)
It also seems to be important to make the insertion at the right angle that was actually steeper than I thought at first. I also got a nice click when it slipped into place. You can also look at the position of the center slot/protrusion on the bottom chip to get an idea of how far the stick needs to be in.
Another thread pointed out that you have to make sure that the retaining clips don't engage before you get it into place as they prevent further movement.

Which slot should i install my X-Fi

I'm about to change my motherboard soon to a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 rev 3.3. Which slot on that board doesn't share its IRQ with other devices, or in other words, which slot is the safest to install the soundcard in (to avoid potential resource conflicts)?
Would appreciate a quick reply. Thanks!

Put the card in the slot far away from graphic card. This is because of EMI disturbing your sound-output. In windows, if you PC supports APIC your chances are very good do not have any IRQ-Sharing. The BIOS- Message wont give you the needed info for IRQ sharing anymore. In windows there are 24! IRQ' s , your BIOS only has access to 6.

Which slot should I put in PCI card in?

Finally going to migrate from my older Mac to my new Intel Mac. I'm in the process of putting my fiber channel card into my new machine so I can connect it to my Xserve Raid. As I was about to put the card in the new machine on slot #2, I noticed that slot #4 said "X4/RAID" on it. Now I'm wondering which slot I should put the card in. Does it matter? I can't find anything other then slot #1-2 are X16 and slots #3-4 are X4.
Help.

Hi
The slot you're looking at is specifically for Apple's RAID Card. In other words if you have the Card it probably won't work in any other slot than the one marked specifically for it. More information here:

You should be OK using the slot but if it bothers you any other slot will do.

Which slot for Intensity HDMI card?

I plan on adding an X1900 XT and a 3ware RAID card.
Which slot should I put a BlackMagic Intensity HDMI card into?

I love it when I can actually answer something for someone other than make suggestions.
Les, the Intensity and Intensity Pro card works best (and awesomely) when installed in the TOP slot of your Mac Pro. X1900xt occupies the bottom and your RAID card can sit at second to top (that's where my SATA card is sitting right now). Black Magic support and I discussed this as I was getting lousy performance in another slot.
Also, reminder, if you are using your Intensity to monitor to an HD LCD (or other HDMI tv) be sure to turn on the TV BEFORE you boot up Final Cut for best results.
cheers and enjoy that card!

Which slot for the airport extreme card?

I just picked up an airport extreme card for my mac pro. I located the slot in the mac pro, but there are two on top of each other.
Question: which slot do I have to use: the upper or lower one?
Iemke

Thanks for the answer, however inserting the card was
not the difficult thing. Finding the correct wire for
the antenna was the difficult thing. A apple
certified technician helped me with that issue.
Iemke
I want to buy the mac Pro and install the airport extreme card - what is the model number of the new card (apple tech tell me it is different from the old G4 card of the same name) and which is the correct wire to attach it to?
BTW I know my way around the G4 desktop having upgraded &/or replaced everything screwed down in those
this knowledge will speed up the purchase process-thanks

How to detect as to which slot the SCXI module is present

i want to detect to which slot the scxi module is connected . I have used get scxi info vi , but the
disadvantage is that it does not give the exact slot position the module is present . Please let me know any vi which does this function
Suresh Thangappan

Hello Suresh,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
If you have LabVIEW 7.0 or higher, you can use the DAQmx Device Property Node with our NI-DAQmx driver. I have attached an example VI to demonstrate just how easy this can be accomplished.

Fibre card which slot?

Does it matter which slot the fibre card goes in? This is for a dual 2.5 G5 with Atto PCIX card.

Nope. Just one that fits.

2xPC3200 to go with 2xPC2600; Which Slots?

I have bought 2x512Mb PC3200 RAM to go with 2x512Mb PC2600 already in my MDD dual 1.25 GHz G4.
Does it matter which slots the faster / slower RAM goes into?

Well, I now have a 2 GB RAM dual 1.25 GHz G4 MDD.
And, I will say, if you run with a lot of programs open, the extra 1 GB does help A LOT !
As I remember one of my mentors saying back in 1971 ( about the DEC PDP-6 at NIH ):
"Nothing makes virtual memory run like Real Memory!"

MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R - Which slot sound card?.

Hi all,
I have a MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R and was wondering which slot to put my sound card in?.
At the mo it's in pci slot 4 i only have 3/4and 5 availible becuase of my arctic cooler on my rad 9800 pro.
The sound card is on IRQ 19 sharing with the IEE1394 host controller, i dont use firewire so could i disable it in the bios?.
Cheers all.

Hi
Should not make any differance, don't worry about the IRQ, let the comp sort it out, it knows whats where, better than humans do.
Any probs, disable the onboard sound. maybe change PCI slot, but there should not be.
cheers

Which slot do I take the ram out and put the new in?

I have a 24" iMac 2.33GHz with 2 gigs of ram. On my imac I can only put a total of 3 gigs. So Currently I have (2) 1GB modules each in both ram slots on my imac. So that means I have to remove pone of the 1GB chips and put in the new 2GB module I bought from crucial. So after shutting down the computer, unplugging everything, and setting it on a table, my question is:
WHICH 1GB ram do I remove? The left(looking at the front of the imac), or the right (looking at the front)?
I will be installing it in later tonight so ANY help is greatly appreciated.

It does not matter which module comes out, however I would suggest that you remove the frontmost module simply to make it easier to remember which module has been replaced.
Actually, you will have to take one more step before you replace your ram module.
Take the cover off before you replace the module. It will go a LOT smoother!
Just kidding. You pretty much have it down pat.
Seriously, just remember to ground yourself before touching the ram module and do NOT touch the contacts on the module.
Hope this helps

Which slot should I install my Blackmagic Intensity Pro PCIe card?

Hi there,
I just purchased myself a Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro capture card. It's a x1 lane PCIe card and according to the manual, it should work in any PCIe slot on the Mac Pro. However, in the readme file, it states, "If using a Mac Pro, it is recommended to use PCIe slot 4 for Intensity capture cards."
What exactly does this mean? Does this mean it's recommended to use the x4 lane slot? Or the 4th slot in the Mac Pro? I'm a little confused.
Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from someone soon.
Regards,
Daniel

Depends when it was written, and for which Mac Pro.
Does it support 16x slots? maybe. But slots 3&4 are 4x and #4 refers to the top most just under the hard drives.
Some cards use to run best in 8x slot which was slot #4 on early Mac Pro but which was also PCIe 1.1.
Mac Pro 2008 and later, doesn't matter.
Apple had trouble with their own Fibre Channel card not working correctly in 2008, and not working to full bandwidth.
I passed answering before because you just need to look at what your PCIe slots provide.

2 sticks of ram into which slots? MSI K8N

Hi,
Installing 2 1gig sticks of the geil value dual channel ram into a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4 Ultra MB.
Is that RAM double or single sided? I see no mention of it anywhere...or is that what the dual channel bit is all about.
Looked in the MB manual but It makes no sence to me ; ;
Which 2 ram slots should I use?
Thanks.

I have a Plat SLI and I was following the color codes at first (slots 1 & 3) and I ran cpuz and my ram registered single channel. So I read the manual (very carefully because it was confusing at first) and I now have them in slots 1 & 2. Reran cpuz and viola, dual channel.
Relative to single sided and double sided, that has to do with how the chips are manufactured and nothing to do with single or dual channel. If the circuit chips show up on only one side, its single sided and if the circuits are on both sides, its double sided....at least this is my understanding.

Adding RAM - which slot has original 64?

When I bought my flower power imac 500 mhz I added ram. It was originally supposed to come with two 64 mg slots but I had 128 installed bringing it up to 192. Thought back then this was enough : ) . I want to add RAM but don't know which one is the 64 Mg one. Would it be the bottom or the top one. I tried to read the labels and it doesn't seem to say on it. One does have a blue stickey dot on it. I was thinking this is the larger one. It is on the top when you are looking inside the slot in the back. Anyone know if there is anyway to tell. Don't want to take the wrong one out.

Hello Kathy,
Go into System Profiler. Click on Memory. It will
show the two slots. On my 400MHz the two slots
are J13 and J14. J13 is the TOP slot. Hope this helps.

Expanding to 3GB RAM in 2.16 C2D: which slot gets the 2GB stick?

Or does it matter? over on Macrumors someone said "put the 2GB into slot 1." I could not find any info on which of the two slots was which; after I installed the two new sticks, my memory profile shows the 2GB memory in Bank 0/DIMM0 and the 1GB in BANK 1/DIMM1. Both are recognized and I can tell a difference, just wondering if there is a preferred slot either stick should be in....
TIA

It does not matter.
And Thank You, for extending the courtesy, of awarding in  Discussions, as this is not a requirement, nor mandatory, but is much appreciated!

Which slot....
