Setting up the hardware in Windows
At startup of Windows, the expansion adapter and the PCI-to-PCI Bridge used by the expansion chassis
are detected in sequence and identified automatically by the Windows standard driver.
After that, the PCI boards installed on the expansion chassis are detected in sequence.
For setting up and checking the boards used on the expansion chassis, refer to their respective manuals.
Checking the hardware in Windows
You can use Device Manager to check whether the expansion adapter and expansion chassis has been
identified in Windows. Device Manager shows “PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge” under “System
devices”.
The expansion adapter and expansion chassis in use can be identified with the number of "PCI standard
PCI-to-PCI bridge" entries.
Two entries: ECH(PCI)BE-H2B/F2B/H4B/F4B/H4A
Three entries: ECH(PCI)BE-H7A/F7A
Five entries: ECH(PCI)BE-H13A/F13A
