After you have verified the card
installation, check the card hold-
down assembly that is holding
the card securely to the card
hold-down bar.

Install PCI Cards in PCI Expansion Chassis
When installing PCI cards or hard drives, please ensure that the input
current rating specified on the AC input label is not exceeded.
Slot ordering in the 13 Slot PCI to PCI Expansion chassis should begin
with Slot 4 – previously identified as the slot next the slot identified as
the “Expansion Interface” slot.
Generally, when installing 3
rd
Party PCI cards in the MAGMA expansion
chassis, it should make no difference which PCI slot you place your
cards in, unless specified by the card manufacturer.
Remove the PCI card hold down bar first.
Install each PCI card following the PCI card manufacturer’s
recommendations. Some PCI 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.
To reduce potential problems with the installation of 3
rd
Party PCI
cards, it is recommended that the cards and their drivers, if any, are
installed and tested individually. This practice will reduce
troubleshooting tasks in the event of a problem.
