MAGMA 
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation 5 
If you are installing a 64-bit 7 slot expansion chassis, two expansion 
cables are required to achieve the full 64-bit bandwidth. Make sure you 
connect the cable properly by mating teal to teal and purple to purple. 
The 64-bit system will work with only one cable installed using the teal 
connectors, but the system will only function at 32-bit speed when only 
one cable is used. 
Secure the cable with the captive thumbscrews. It is important that the 
cable be attached securely to the connectors at both ends. 
Before connecting the power cord, check that the expansion chassis 
On/Off switch is set to the OFF position. This switch is located on the 
left side of the chassis. 
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. 
Recheck the Installation 
Check your installation before powering up the Magma expansion 
chassis for the first time. Although the power supply has an over voltage 
protection device built into it, it may not "trip" in time to fully protect a 
device that has been improperly connected, or whose power cable has 
been damaged.
