Q: How can I determine if the driver for my PCIe card is Thunderbolt Compatible?
A: Thunderbolt Tunneling is required for MacOS. In Apple System Profile, click on the specific PCIe card in question
to see if it's Thunderbolt Tunnel Compatible. If it shows "Yes" then Thunderbolt tunneling has been enabled and it is
compatible. If it shows "No", then the driver does not work through Thunderbolt and it is not compatible. Even if the
rd
driver is not thunderbolt compatible the 3 party PCIE card is still visible (as shown from the picture below).
Q. My PCIe card is not getting detected when installed in 1st PCIE slot, what should I do?
A. Turn off the Laptop computer. Disconnect the Magma thunderbolt expansion unit form Laptop by disconnecting
the thunderbolt cable. Remove power cord from Magma. Remove and reseat PCIe card. Reconnect the thunderbolt
cable to Laptop. Plug-in power cord to Magma. Turn on the Laptop. This should automatically turn on the Magma
thunderbolt expansion unit. Check Apple System profiler or Windows Device Manager to see if the PCIe card is
detected or not.
Q: Can I daisy chain Roben-3with another Roben-3?
A: Yes, but realize that aggregate bandwidth is limited to 10Gbps through the Thunderbolt port and PCI address and
IO space can be limited so the type of cards installed in the chassis may limit the number that can be daisy chained
successfully.
If a daisy chain device doesn't work; check to see if the Thunderbolt Cable is connected firmly into the thunderbolt
port (on the Magma Thunderbolt Card of Roben-3) and the power supply is also turned ON. Also make sure each
Thunderbolt Roben-3 is working and functional before attempting to daisy chain them together.
