PXH-V... Confusing????
-
Hi all, I got the new SuperMicro X7DA3 server board with 3 PCI-X slots and 1 PCI slot. Two of the three PCI-X slots are connected to PXH-V chipset which is inturn connected to ESB2 chipset and the another one is directly connected to ESB2. When I install a PCI-X 133MHz board on one of the two PCI-X slots on PXH-V chipset, it runs at its full speed (794MBps) which is good, but when I install a 32bit 33MHz card on the second slot, the earlier card's speeds drop down significantly to 284MBps. Coming to the PCI 33MHz slot, when I install a 32bit 33MHz slot, I am getting around 60MBps when I am supposed to get around 90MBps. Can someone help me out how I can configure these slots for their max bus transfers. I dont card about the 32bit card thats been installed on one of the PXH-V chipset, but I need the other card to run at its full speed. Anyone know about configuring the Latency timer for PCI slots? For now they are in default option, but I can change this value in bios. thanks, -Pavan
