Considerations when using multiple PCIe cards
- All control cards designed and manufactured by TPM are equipped with a hardware-based RSW for card ID configuration, as shown in Figure 1
- The RSW allows card ID settings in the range of 0 to 7, with a default setting of 0. A maximum of 8 cards can be used in a single system
- Each card ID setting must be unique
- The first card is set to 0; therefore, the second card must be configured as non-zero
