notice and instructions.

Computer’s PCIe slot to be linked with NA211A-G3 must be identiﬁed

ﬁrst for the correct connection between host computer and NA211A-G3.

Two conditions A and B for connection are listed below:

A. If computer’s PCIe slot to be linked with NA211A-G3 is PCIe 3.0 ×4, then

you don’t need to make any change to the switch setting on NA211A-G3

slot board because NA211A-G3 is already set to work with computer’s

PCIe 3.0 ×4 slot by default.

B. If computer’s PCIe slot to be linked with NA211A-G3 is PCIe 2.0 ×4, then

you will need to set NA211A-G3’s slot board to PCIe Gen2 to let Netstor
