The following steps will guide you in completing the installation of your
new 7 or 13 Slot Rack-mount PCI Expansion System
Step One: Remove PCI Expansion System Cover
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s powe
r
cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the power cord
from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning the system
power off at the power on/off switch does not remove power to
components. High voltage is still present.
CAUTION
Before touching anything inside the chassis, move to an ESD station
and follow proper ESD procedure. Failure to do so may result in
electrostatic discharge damaging the computer or its components. Fo
r
more information, see “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge”.
Four screws retain the cover on the Rack-mount chassis. They are
located on the rear of the unit along top edge of the top cover. Slide
cover back about 1 inch to disengage and remove straight up.
Step Two: Install PCI Expansion Interface Card
CAUTION
13 Slot Models
: The PCI Host Interface Card and the PCI Expansion
Interface Card are not interchangeable! Each of these cards is clearly
marked with a silk-screened legend identifying the card type. Inserting
the PCI Expansion Interface Card into a PCI slot other than the
appropriate slot on the motherboard may damage the PCI Expansion
Interface Card, your system motherboard, the PCI Expansion
motherboard or other PCI cards.
7 Slot Models:
MAGMA 7 Slot PCI Expansion Systems have
incorporated the expansion interface functionality on the motherboard,
making a separate expansion interface card not required. Please move
on to the next step!
13 Slot Models:
To install the PCI Expansion Interface Card in the 13
Slot Rack-mount chassis find the slot on the motherboard labeled
EXPANSION INTERFACE
on the silk-screened legend (slot closest to
the power supply). Secure the card in its slot using the retaining screw
