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.
The PCI Host Interface Card is a standard "short" universal PCI adapter
card. Install it in your host computer (or an "upstream" PCI Expansion
System), by inserting the card into any available PCI slot and securing it
with a retaining screw.
NOTE
Some applications require that the PCI Host Interface Card be installed
in a specific slot in the host computer. For more information, please
contact the MAGMA Technical Support Department.
Step Six: Install PCI Cards in PCI Expansion System
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.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning
All PCI cards are susceptible to electrostatic discharge. When
moving PCI cards, it is best to carry the cards in anti-static
packaging. If you need to set a PCI card down, be sure to place i
t
inside or on top of an anti-static surface. For more information, see
“Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge”.
Generally, when installing PCI cards in the expansion system, it should
make no difference what slot order you place your cards in, unless
specified by the PCI card manufacturer.
Slot ordering in the 7 Slot Rack-mount expansion system should begin
