Thanks Gene. I got back my multibridge from BlackMagic and they said that it was fine but needed the firmware to go back from standalone converter. Anyway, when I popped it in, it worked (recognized slot 4) and was fine for about 6 hours. Then the fan revved up like a motorcycle (revving up and down and up and down) and after that it just continuously crashed my Final Cut. I have sent an email back to the BlackMagic folks (who were very fast in responding and sent an RMA quickly – thanks!), and awaiting their next response. Adam, Hopefully this way helps to wake up your slot 4.

Log on as Administrator go to HD>System>Library>Core Services and you should be able to open the Expansion Slot Utility. Setup slot 4 for 4 lane, and everything should work. You might need a cold reboot after change before it will initialize.
One caveat here would be if you have a couple of 16 lane PCIe graphics cards installed in your workstation that would be hogging all express lane resources. If so the Multibridge will never work in that con

Hello Nate,

I am having a similar issue. Have an 8-core that is not recognizing the PCIe card in slot 4 (or slot 3 for that matter)… Very odd. My multibridge pro is also not happy, as I did a firmware upgrade and now the unit just keeps trying to cycle up and blinks on and off. Very frustrated as well, and hope someone can help us both.

Thanks, good luck, and stay in touch in case there is any update.
