Tom,
I have the PE6R4-I . Is that the one you are talking about?
It's FAST. Much better than the previous HD Expansion
chassis I had.

Apparently the new PE6R4 is now an (i) was it fairly plug and play as far as setup is concerned? Core card first (next to taped yellow slot) then b to a link cables to the cards themselfs?

I am using hybrid HD 4 1 original core, 1 accel, 2 process in that order ( accel process first)
