EB3600-AB | Chapter 3 Software Installation 55
The Device Manager will display the available slots within the chassis. As reference, you can determine
which slot you inserted your PCIe card in by following the outline that is shown below.
The Magma chassis has 2 PCIe Switch devices that enable the slots to work:
 The 1st PCIe Switch controls Slots 1,2,3,4,5
 The 2nd PCIe Switch controls slots 0,1,2,3,4,
If the verification is successful, you can install 3rd Party cards as well as auxiliary peripherals, such as hard
drives into the chassis.
Linux
Once the EB360-AB expansion unit has been installed in a Linux-based system, its installation can be verified
by typing the following command lines:
lspci – t Displays the overall structure of the PCIe expansion system
lspci – vv Lists additional information about the PCIe switch (in our case it will list the Integrated Device
Technology (IDT) information.
Ispci – vvv Displays the most comprehensive information about the expansion system.
Typical output from lspci –vvv is verbose, but you can dig through the information to find very important
information. There are so many registers and settings associated with PCI Express Switches.
For example, the image below is showing the Magma Chassis on Bus 2, Device 0, and Function 0. Some
information has been deleted, but notice the
Link Supported Speed is 8GT/s, Width x16 . This is helpful to
know that the chassis is configured for x8 PCI Express Speeds highlighted in red
In order to obtain detailed information you must login as a sudo user in Linux and type “lspci –vv”
