Note: The ExpressPCI-DC automatically configures its own termination and provides feed back via two LEDs located on the top edge of the card. Exceptions to automatic configuration are listed in the Miscellaneous Technical Notes table.

MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL NOTES

Termination must be manually configured under two conditions. The ExpressPCI-DC will not automatically configure termination when narrow (8-bit) devices are attached to the internal connector and wide (16-bit) devices are attached to the external connector, or vice-versa. In these cases, the on-board terminators must be set to terminate high-order byte (the ExpressPCI-DC must lies at the end of the high-order bus). Refer to the ExpressPro-Tools Bus Configuration Utilities section in the ExpressPro-Tools User’s Manual for appropriate settings. Active termination is strongly recommended.
