     Questions and Answers

1.  What if all the PCIe slots within the host computer are occupied?

Remove one of the third-party PCIe cards, and replace the third-party card with host card 

within the host computer, and then install the removed third-party PCIe card into 

NA333A-G3 storage enclosure.

2.  As moving a third-party PCIe card from host computer to NA333A-G3, 
     will the third-party PCIe card work well and how to install third-party 
     PCIe card’s driver?

Yes, the third-party PCIe card will work well in NA333A-G3 just like it is in the host computer. 

And the installation procedure for the third-party PCIe card’s driver is the same.

3.  NA333A-G3 supports SGPIO; what does it mean?

NA333A-G3 chassis supports SGPIO. When any HDD fails, the red LED indicator on the tray 

will light. The SGPIO function will be effective when the SAS/SATA RAID card supports SGPIO 

function. (for example: Areca’s RAID card)

4.  How do I know the RAID card and the third-party PCIe cards installed 
     within NA333A-G3 are recognized by the host computer?

Go to Windows’ Device Manager, click “View” at the top menu bar, and select “Devices by 

connection”. Then go to 

ACPI x64-based PC

 >> 

Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System

 >> 

PCI Express Root Complex

. Open the PCI Express Root Port, and then you will find the 

RAID card and the third-party PCIe cards in Netstor unit being shown and being 

recognized by computer under the PCI Express Root Port.
