Finding the Problem Card

Windows

If you need help to determine which PCIe card, or which expansion

chassis, has the problem, you can “right-click” on the card with the and check the information contained in the “Location:” field.

Look for the “Error Code” in the box in the center of the Properties Window and then go to the Windows Error Code section for information on how to resolve this issue.

MAC and Linux

If you have already reinstalled and reseated everything according to instructions in Chapter 2, and the PCI to PCI Bridge is still not visible in the Apple System Profiler, call Magma Technical Support.
