CAUTION
Before touching anything inside the enclosure, move to an ESD station and follow proper ESD
procedures. Failure to do so may result in electrostatic discharge, damaging the computer or its
components. For more information, see
CAUTION
Before installing add-in cards, please ensure that the input current rating specified on the AC input label is
not exceeded.
When installing 3 Party PCIe cards into the Magma expansion chassis, it makes no difference which PCIe slot you place
rd
your cards in. Usually that is determined by accessibility and heat dissipation consideration as may be specified by the
card manufacturer.
Be sure to install the PCIe cards following the card manufacturer's recommendations. Some PCIe 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 PCIe 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).
After securing the cards verify that they do not touch each other. Depending on PCIe card size and thickness, you may
require mechanical card guides to ensure isolation, such as the case with 2 single full-length PCIe cards. Card guides for
this system can be purchased separately from Magma.
