System Should Be Up And Running - Magma EB4-1U User Manual

M A G M A
Be sure to install your PCIe cards following the PCIe 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).
IMPORTANT
The sheer number of PCIe cards and device drivers available
makes it impossible for Magma to fully test and certify all available
PCIe cards for use in the MAGMA expansion chassis. Our best
advice to you in this regard is to insist on full PCIe Specification
compliance from your card and system vendors. Cards and
systems should be at least PCIe Specification Revision 1.0
compliant or better. Compliance in your system motherboard, PCIe
cards, and console firmware (or BIOS) is your best assurance that
everything will install and operate smoothly.
Not all PCIe cards are as "well-behaved" as they should be.
Sometimes simply moving a PCIe card that is having a problem to
a different slot, or reordering your cards in their slots, will alleviate
"behavior" problems.

System Should Be Up and Running

Apply power to the MAGMA expansion chassis first, then power up the
computer.
Use the procedures detailed in
installation(s) in the Windows Device Manager or Apple System Profiler.
When everything is functioning correctly, your Windows Device
Manager should look something like this:
