Install Hard Drive(S) - Magma CB264 User Manual

IMPORTANT
The sheer number of PCI cards and device drivers available
makes it impossible for Mobility to fully test and certify all available
PCI cards for use in the Magma expansion chassis. Our best
advice to you in this regard is to insist on full PCI Specification
compliance from your card and system vendors. Cards and
systems should be at least PCI Specification Revision 2.0
compliant or better. Compliance in your system motherboard, PCI
cards, and console firmware (or BIOS) is your best assurance that
everything will install and operate smoothly.
Not all PCI cards are as "well-behaved" as they should be.
Sometimes simply moving a PCI card that is having a problem to a
different slot, or reordering your cards in their slots, will alleviate
"behavior" problems.

Install Hard Drive(s)

Your Magma 2 slot expansion chassis provides drive brackets for one or
two hard drives. If you want to install a hard drive to your system, a PCI
hard drive controller card can be installed into one of the available PCI
slots or you may connect directly to your host computer's hard drive
controller ports.
To install a hard drive, you must
remove the 5V Load Resistor that
has been mounted in the hard drive
bay. The Load Resistor is installed to
allow you to use of 3.3V PCI cards
without causing power problems.
If you place a hard drive in your
Magma expansion chassis, the hard drive will automatically provide the
5V resistance required and the Load Resistor is not required. It can be
removed by removing the screw and disconnecting the power cable.
DANGER
The Load Resistor is
unless the system has been shut off for a long period of time. Use
caution when touching the Load Resistor.
and must NOT BE TOUCHED
