Chapter 2 Hardware Installation; Before You Begin; Remove Top Cover - Magma EB7-X8G2 User Manual

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
The following steps will guide you through the installation of your Magma expansion system
CAUTION
Hardware installation shall be performed only by qualified service personnel per UL and IEC 60950-1.
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 PCIe card down, be sure to place it inside or on top
of an anti-static surface. For more information, see "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the
Preface.
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the expansion chassis when the unit's power cord is plugged into an
electrical outlet. Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet before removing the enclosure 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 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

Before you Begin

The system's ATX power supply is auto-switching. This means that it will automatically switch to match whatever source
power you are using. Since all products ship with a US/Canadian Standard 115V power cord, you will need to use a
locally available power cord for non-US Standard power sources.

Remove Top Cover

Remove the four (4) screws from the back of the expansion chassis. Slide the enclosure cover backward to disengage it
from the guides at the front of the enclosure by firmly grasping the edges of the cover lip and pulling the cover
backward about 1" until it clears the front hold-down, and then lift the cover off.
