3.2 Mac OS X
When using Mac OS X no additional software or drivers are needed. The operating system should automatically recognize the OSS host card
and expansion chassis.
3.2.1 Expansion Slot Utility
The following screen may be displayed the first time you turn on your computer with the OSS EB7-X8-RAS installed.
Choose OK.
MacOS X is prompting you to choose a PCI Express profile that maximizes the performance of your attached devices.
The OSS host card can
communicate up to a bandwidth of x8 to and from the expansion chassis and devices.
You should choose a profile that matches the
configuration of all the cards installed in your Mac. OSS recommends that you install the system host card into a x8 slot in order to maximize
throughput.
In this example, the OSS host card is installed in slot 4 and appears as “Intel PCI-to-PCI Bridge Card”.
