Then click the “More Info” button Æ click on the Devices tabÆ you should see a pci-bridgedevice listed under PCI as shown below:

Any PCIe Cards you install in the expansion chassis will appear behind the pci-bridgedevice.

Mac OS 10.5.x

If any of these devices are not displayed as shown above, you should shut down your system (computer first, then the expansion chassis) and reconnect the cables and the PCIe expansion host card to ensure that you have a solid connection. Then restart the Magma expansion chassis followed by the computer. Next, try to verify the installation again, as shown above. If you are still having problems, contact Magma Technical Support at (858) 530-2511.

RedHat 9 Linux

Once the EB7-x8 has been installed in a RedHat9-based system, its installation can be verified by typing the following command lines:

lspci –tDisplays the overall structure of the PCIe expansion system

lspci –vvLists additional information about the PCIe switch (in our case it will list the Integrated Device Technology (IDT) information.

Ispci –vvvDisplays 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 associtated with PCI Express Switches.
