4 Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
This chapter provides information only on how to install 3
rd
Party PCI
Express cards into your Magma ExpressBox
1
. More details on the
installation of individual cards are provided by the card’s manufacturer.
For the purpose of installation, Magma ExpressBox
1
functions exactly
as a standard desktop computer chassis. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for installing their card on a desktop
computer.
IMPORTANT
We will provide reasonable technical support for 3
rd
Party cards
installed in your Magma expansion product. However, if you have
verified a successful installation of Magma ExpressBox
1
(as
defined in the Verify Installation section), but experience difficulty
installing your 3
rd
Party cards, the card manufacturer should be
able to provide the best support.
Open Cover
Two thumbscrews retain the cover on ExpressBox. The screws are
located on the corners of the unit, on the left and right side of the cover's
back edge. Loosen these screws by turning them counterclockwise to
open the enclosure.
Once the screws are removed, simply lift the lid to gain access to the
available x16 PCI Express slot. Although the slot will accommodate x1,
x4, x8, and x16 PCI Express cards, the connection to the computer is
limited to x1 PCI Express speed.
