6 6. Troubleshooting Common PCI Express Series problems and possible solutions are as follows. If you still have problems after reading this chapter, contact your dealer or Moxa for help, or use the Problem Report Form at the end of this manual to report problems to your dealer.
PCI Express Boards Troubleshooting General Troubleshooting 1. The Moxa PCI Express board cannot be detected by the Moxa driver while installing the driver. Hardware causes and solutions: a. Express slot. It is also possible that a slot has malfunctioned. In this case, try other slots until you find one that works. b. The motherboard does not have an available IRQ for the PCI Express board. In this case, enter the BIOS and make sure there is an available IRQ under PCI/PnP settings. 2.
