  • LHi slot number?

    Posted by Tom Matthies on May 22, 2009 at 3:40 pm

    LHi card arriving soon. Is there a preferred slot for it?
    It’s going into a MacPro 2.8 Octo
    I already have a ATTO SCSI, Firmtek SATA, and Firewire card in place. The Firewire will go Bye-Bye to open up a slot.
    Is there a preferred order someone could recommend for this assortment of cards?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Same rules apply

    SAS, SCSI, Fiber storage goes in the slot farthest (#4) from the Graphics card that came with your computer.

    Kona Cards go into slot 3.

    You might have some bottle necking with both a SCSI and SATA card in there, but it’s worth a try.

    Thanks.
    Slot three it will be.
    Also, SATA & SCSI seem to be playing well together. Good read/writes from each.
