Can I safely insert the Decklink Extreme card into the smaller x1 or x4
slots as the Decklink site says? and at the same time use the main PCI
express slot in x16 mode for the graphics card? My only worry is about
damaging the cards which cost about 60K each. After giving full
assurances for tech. support, my supplier is getting cold feet on the
tech. front especially for the Decklink card.
Hello JTD, I found this information from Decklink's site
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/support/detail.asp?techID=47#DualCore_PCIe
"Certified PCIe Systems for Standard Definition only
Use any 1, 4, 8 or 16 lane slot in the following Pentium and AMD Dual
Core systems for use with standard definition DeckLink PCIe cards.
[snip]
AMD ATHLON DUAL CORE
Asus A8N-E nVidia nForce 4 Chipset
[snip]
So can I simply use the Decklink card in any of the other x1 or x4 PCIe
slots? Is there any risk of damage that I need to avoid during assembly?
Regards,
Rony.
