Question Power Mac G5 Fiber Channel Issues
Hello everyone. I'm a noob here but have lurked off and on for years when searching for info.

I have an issue with some hardware we acquired here at my job site.

We have a Power Mac G5 dual proc 2ghz PPC w/ 1G ram + 250g HD running Tiger 10.4.8. The G5 also has an ATTO SCSI adapter in it. We have an Apple Branded PCI-X 2 channel fiber card that we want to use to connect the G5 to a QLogic sanbox fiber switch so that it can see an X Raid partition.

The problem is that when I install the PCI-X card into the G5, it never shows in the About This Mac/More Information screen. The two LEDs on the back of the card blink about once a sec. but the G5 doesn't seem to find the card. I've plugged in an SPF cable to the sanbox to see if that would wake it up but still got nothing. I've reseated the card, moved it to another PCI slot... same results.

I am under the impression that Tiger natively supports this card. Am I wrong? I just need the G5 to see this card and communicate with the sanbox. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Issue resolved. The card I was lead to believe was a PCI-X card was actually a PCI card. Ordered the correct card and I see the fibre channel card now.
