Applying Power Correctly
Starting Up:
It is recommended that you apply power to the Magma expansion
chassis prior to powering up your computer. This will allow the PCIe bus
hierarchy to be in a stable state when the host system issues its master
power-on bus reset. This will also allow the software driver to recognize
the PCI bus hierarchy and any attached devices.
The system’s On/Off switch is located on the front panel, as well as an
LED indicator to indicate power status. Verify that the green power
indicator is ON after pressing the button.
Windows Start Up
As your Windows computer starts
up, you will see a small message
box pop-up in the lower-right corner
of the screen to alert you that
Windows has found new hardware.
The system does not require any Magma drivers in order to operate
properly with the
x8 PCIe Host card. However, it may require a driver in
order to work with the optional
ExpressCard host, hence we added the
next section.
You may now proceed to
Chapter 3 Verify Installation.
MAC Start Up
Apple MAC OS computers will boot up without any visible indicators that
the Expansion System is connected. Go to:
Chapter 3 Verify Installation.
