Installation
Introduction
The DAG 4.5 card can be installed in any free PCI-X slot. It operates at
66MHz, 100MHz or 133MHz PCI-X mode but will not operate in 32-bit or
64-bit PCI slots. Higher speed slots will achieve better performance.
Although the DAG driver supports up to sixteen DAG cards in one system,
the DAG card makes heavy use of PCI-X bus data transfer resources.
Therefore bandwidth limitations mean you should not have more than one
card on a single PCI-X bus.
