Verify your configuration

Before you start installing your PCI cards (refer to Chapter 4 Install Cards and Drives for more information), you should confirm that everything is in proper working order. Refer to Chapter 3 Verify Installation for guidance in verifying the proper installation of your Expansion System.

Notice that each Daisy-Chained unit appears in the Device Manager in the reverse order of its place in the configuration.

Combination Configurations

Depending on your business requirements, and your physical space limitations, you can add additional Expansion System in multiple configurations, such as these. These combinations are only limited by the available slots and/or slot types: PCIe or PCI.
