Chapter 2 Installation 3
If you don’t have any empty PCI slots, you can remove a PCI card to
create a vacant slot. This PCI card can later be installed in a vacant slot
in your new expansion chassis.
The PCIHIF64LP is a “half-height” PCI card attached to a “full-height”
bracket for convenient mounting in most desktop computers. It is also
shipped with a low profile card bracket to allow mounting on low profile
computer systems.
For low profile case applications, you may need to change the mounting
bracket to the low profile bracket that shipped with your system. This is
done by removing the screws that hold the card to the bracket. Be sure
you are using proper ESD procedures when completing this action.
For more information on installing PCI Cards, please refer to your
computer’s user manual or system documentation.
Attach Power and Expansion Cable(s)
Carefully position the Magma expansion chassis so that the cable
supplied with your expansion system will conveniently reach from the
connector of the host card to the connector(s) on the back of the
expansion chassis.
The cable(s) connect to the host card using thumbscrews; therefore no
tools are required to attach the cables. However, in order to create the
most robust connection, it is recommended that you tighten the
thumbscrews with a screwdriver.
Attach one end of the PCI expansion cable to the host card and the
other end to the rear side of the expansion chassis.
