| Installation of the Sonnet (ATTO OEM) RAID card in an 8-core Mac Pro with a Fusion D800RAID, R800RAID, or D400RAID storage system. | May-12-09 |
| Originally, the Sonnet (ATTO OEM) RAID card in an 8-core Mac Pro should be installed in the PCIe compatibility slot, not a PCIe 2.0 slot. If the RAID card must be inserted in a PCIe 2.0 slot, please do the following:
1) Upon rebooting your machine, launch the ATTO Configuration Utility.
2) Select the CLI tab and type "automap" to mount the drive array.
Note: A recent firmware was posted to the Sonnet website to address this issue. |

| Under Mac OS X 10.5.6, the PCI Express Expansion Slot Utility (early Mac Pro) always reports 8x, 1x, 1x, 16x no matter how its set. | May-06-09 |
| The bus lanes actually get set correctly under Mac OS X 10.5.6 but they are not reported correctly in the Expansion Slot Utility. The actual settings can be verified by booting under another version of Mac OS X. Sonnet has filed a bug report with Apple. |
