3.1 TROUBLESHOOTING

Many problems can be traced back to the SSD not being fully seated in the Accelsior 1A connector, or the 

Accelsior 1A itself not being fully seated in the host computer or expansion device’s PCIe slot. Please review 

Section 2 to make sure everything was installed properly. You may need to reseat and re-affix the SSD, the 

PCIe card, or both.
If the card is working generally but you are not seeing the expected performance levels, this can sometimes 

be traced back to installing the Accelsior 1A in a PCIe 2.0 or earlier slot and/or a slot with limited data lanes. 

Please make sure that the PCIe slot being used provides enough bandwidth. If you’re still having trouble  

after verifying the above items, please contact our award-winning Technical Support Team; we are happy  

to assist you.
