| I installed an LSI 9200 series SAS RAID card in a Thunderbold expansion chassis and now the LSI card doesn't work. | May-22-19 |
| The LSI card probably blew its fuse. LSI seems to be unique in putting a fuse in series on the power input of some of its PCIe cards, which is a non-standard implementation for a PCIe card design. The fuse on the LSI card is sized too low and may sometimes blow at the inrush current the LSI card demands at power up. (In the PCIe specification, it is not the responsibility of the system to limit the inrush current to the card.)
The fuse could have been omitted; it was not. The fuse could have had a higher rating; it did not. The fuse could have been a slow-blow type; it was not. The fuse could have been user replaceable; it is not. The fuse could have been a resettable type; it is not.
From our resellers, we have heard anecdotes of LSI cards blowing their fuse in some systems and not others, apparently depending on how fast the 12V power comes up. Power would generally come up slower in a server in which the motherboard places a low-impedance demand on the power supply. In Thunderbolt expansion chassis, there is no motherboard to draw power, and the power supply voltage comes up rather quickly. This is LSI's issue to solve. |

| One of my PCIe cards is not showing up when Connected to an M1 or M2 Mac. | Sep-08-22 |
| When you boot an M1 or M2 Mac with a multi-slot PCIe Expansion Chassis connected —AND— you have a monitor or USB device connected to the downstream port of the PCIe expansion chassis, one of the PCIe cards may not enumerate.
Solution: After booting, Plug in PCIe chassis, monitor or USB device.

| I am getting Error AAE-9093 with Pro Tools with my HDX card. | Nov-30-23 |
| • Issue: Launching Activity Monitor app on an M1 or M2 Mac while recording in a Pro Tools session will cause a Pro Tools error AAE-9093.
• Solution: Do not run Activity Monitor while recording a Pro Tools session.
• Issue: When recording a 128 track session, setting Playback Engine HW Buffer Size to less than 2048 will cause Pro Tools error AAE-9093.
• Solution: Set Playback Engine HW Buffer Size to 2048.
• Issue: Pro Tools error AAE-9093 error is immediately is displayed after selecting record or play for a .ptx session that has associated clips if the last actions from the prior time Pro Tools run was to stop recording and then immediately quit and select "Don't Save" while quitting Pro Tools.
• Solution: This error condition can be removed by first attempting to record a clip, observing and clicking through the AAE-9093 dialog box, then selecting File-Save to save the .ptx file and then quitting Pro Tools. Now restart Pro Tools, open the session .ptx and confirm that play and record function normally. |
