MAGMA
4 Chapter 2 Installation
Attach PCI Expansion and Power Cable
Carefully position the MAGMA expansion chassis so that the supplied
PCI expansion cable(s) will conveniently reach from the connector of
the PCI Host card to the connector on the back of the chassis.
No tools are typically required to install the cables into your host
computer and connect it to the PCI expansion cable. The cable
connects to the card using thumb screws.
Attach one end of the
PCI expansion cable to
the PCI Host Card and
secure it using the
captive thumbscrews
on the cable.
Carefully route the
cable to the rear side
of the expansion
chassis and attach it to
the 68-pin connector,
as shown below in your
Expansion Chassis
User Guide.
Secure the cable to the computer with the captive thumbscrews. It is
important that the cable be attached securely to the connectors at both
ends.
Finish connecting the power cable to your expansion system using
instructions contained in the Expansion Chassis User Guide. Turn on
the power to the expansion system first, and then the host computer.
NOTE
If at all possible, plug all power cords from the MAGMA expansion
chassis and your host computer into a shared power strip,
preferably one that has surge and noise suppression circuitry built
into it.
