My Computer Can’t Find the PCI Expansion System
If the expansion system is not visible in your Windows Device Manager
or your Apple System Profiler at all, you will need to turn off your
computer (first) and then the MAGMA expansion chassis (second) and
test all cords and cables to ensure you have everything connected
correctly. If everything seems to be connected correctly, and you are
sure you have applied power correctly (power up expansion chassis first
and then the computer), then try these additional troubleshooting steps:
Try moving the Host Card to a different PCI slot.
Double-check the expansion cable to ensure it is connected
correctly at both ends. Try another cable, if you have one.
If the expansion system is still not visible after trying all of the
above steps, go to
Chapter 5 to see about getting additional
help.
If the PCI to PCI Bridge is now visible, but contains a
in front of it, it
has a problem that must be fixed.
To identify this problem, follow the instructions shown in the previous
section “
Device Manager Shows a Bang.”
Resolve the identified problem or go to
