Chapter 2 Hardware Installation 5
Attach PCI Expansion and Power Cable
Carefully position the Magma expansion chassis so that the supplied
PCI expansion cable will conveniently reach from the connector of the
Host Card to the connector on the back of the
chassis.
Attach one end of the PCI expansion cable to
the Host Card and secure it using the captive
thumbscrews on the cable. See the Host Card
Installation Guide for more information on
connecting the cable to the card.
Carefully route the cable to the rear side of the expansion chassis and
attach it to the 68-pin connector, as shown below:
Secure the cable with the captive thumbscrews. It is important that the
cable be attached securely to the connectors at both ends.
Before connecting the power cord(s), check
that the expansion chassis On/Off switch is
set to the OFF position. This switch is
located on the left side of the front of the
chassis.
NOTE
If at all possible, plug all power cords from the Magma expansion
chassis and your host computer into a shared power strip,
preferably one that has surge and noise suppression circuitry built
into it.
