Hi
I have an AVID 7-Slot extender, 4 UADs and 1 Poco MKI and 1 Poco MKII.
So far no problems, first slot places just fine, because I saw
once a post from AKIS (thanks) how the slots are sharing irq's.
Also I had the known initialization problems with the Poco MK1 in MOBO,
but with the extender no more any issue at booting.
I want to make silent this extender.
Actually there are 3 fans on front and a plate with 2 fans above the
pci cards. Further also the power supply is noisy.
Any suggestions about:
1. replace with which model of fanless power supply?
I read in some posts that there are problems with some newer
power supplies concering the connectors.
2. Is it needed to keep the fans on the plate above the cards?
If not, install the plate anyway or let away?
3. I read about the loadres 5V, and that I can install any useless drive
instead. Is it needed by the configuration of cards which are sitting in
my Avid extender?
First I have also installed the RME PCI card of my HDSP in the chassis,
but no way to boot up the PC, only as soon as I disconnected
the cable to the breakout box the PC start up, is this an issue
in case of missing resistor?
Well actaully the RME PCI is back in MOBO without any problems.
Thanks
Martin
