Applying Power Correctly; Starting Up - Magma PCI Expansion System User Manual

CAUTION
When using your MAGMA expansion chassis outside of the United
States, make sure that you have correctly identified the voltage of
your power source and that you are connected to it correctly.
Remember, if you are using a 220V power source, you will need a
power converter (leave your Voltage Selector Switch at 115V), or a
250V power cord adapter (change your Voltage Selector Switch to
230V), to connect to the power source. Double-check that you have
the correct combination of Voltage Selector Switch setting and Power
Converter or Power Cable Adapter to allow your expansion chassis
to operate safely.

Applying Power Correctly

Starting Up:

You must apply power to the MAGMA expansion chassis BEFORE you
power up your computer. This will allow the higher numbered PCI buses
in the PCI bus hierarchy to be at a stable state when the host system
issues its master power-on bus reset. In systems that perform automatic
PCI bus configuration, this will allow the configuration code to recognize
the PCI bus hierarchy and any attached devices.
There is an On/Off switch on the front panel, as well
as an LED indicator to indicate power status. Verify
that the green power indicator is ON.
STOP
DO NOT TURN ON THE MAGMA EXPANSION CHASSIS UNTIL
YOU HAVE SHUT DOWN YOUR LAPTOP COMPLETELY! It can
cause a system lockup and loss of any unsaved data.
