Next, slide the enclosure cover backwards, 
disengaging it from the guides at the front of 
the enclosure, by firmly grasping the rear 
cover lip over the card I/O area and pulling 
the cover backward about ½” and then lifting

CAUTION 
When replacing the enclosure cover, be sure that the front edge 
guides on the cover engage the inner lip of the enclosure. 
Install PCI Cards in PCI Expansion Chassis 
CAUTION 
When installing PCI cards or hard drives, please ensure that the input 
current rating specified on the AC input label is not exceeded. 
Generally, when installing 3
rd
 Party PCI cards in your Magma 
expansion chassis, it should make no difference which PCI slot 
you place your cards in, unless specified by the card 
manufacturer.  If you have PCI cards that need priority 
assignments, slot ordering in your PCI Expansion chassis 
begins with Slot 4, or the slot located closest to the power 
supply.  
Install PCI cards following PCI card manufacturer’s 
recommendations. Some PCI card manufacturers recommend 
that you install their software driver(s) prior to installing the hardware. If 
this is the case, you should install their driver before you connect and 
power up the expansion chassis. 
Make sure that all PCI cards are fully seated in their connectors. When 
correctly seated in its connector, you will notice a firm resistance when 
you pull up gently on the card. To keep the cards in place, secure them 
in the enclosure with their retaining screws (supplied with the Magma 
expansion chassis).
