MAGMA
6 Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
IMPORTANT
The sheer number of PCI Express cards and device drivers
available makes it impossible for Magma to fully test and certify all
available PCI Express cards for use in Magma ExpressBox
1
. Our
best advice to you in this regard is to insist on full PCI Express
Specification compliance from your card and system vendors.
Cards and systems should be at least PCI Express Specification
Revision 1.1 compliant or better. Compliance in your system
motherboard, PCI Express cards, and console firmware (or BIOS)
is your best assurance that everything will install and operate
smoothly.
DANGER
Do not attempt to remove the
protective covering over the high-
voltage power supply. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside.
Attach Cables
CAUTION
Before connecting the power cord, check that the On/Off switch is
set to the OFF position (o = OFF, | = ON). This switch is located
directly above the 18-pin connector.
Laptop Installation
Attach one end of the PCI Express cable to the Magma ExpressCard
module and the other end to the connector on the back of the Magma
unit. The cable connects to using thumbscrews; therefore no tools are
required.
