Connect cables to  
the chassis. 
 
Connect cables to  
the host card. 
When properly installed, each cable will have matching labels at both 
ends (x1 to x1 and x3 to x3).  
 
CAUTION 
All cables attached to the expansion chassis must be securely 
fastened. When you hear a “click,” it is properly secured. If not 
securely connected, the connectors may cause intermittent or lost 
connections.  
 
 
Connect the power cord to the power-in receptacle located at the rear of 
the enclosure.   
 
NOTE 
If at all possible, plug all power cords from the expansion chassis 
and your host computer into a shared power strip, preferably one 
that has surge and noise suppression circuitry built into it.  
 
 
 
 
Recheck the Installation 
Check your installation before powering up the Magma expansion 
chassis for the first time. Although the power supply has an over voltage 
protection device built into it, it may not "trip" in time to fully protect a 
device that has been improperly connected, or whose power cable has 
been damaged.   
 
CAUTION 
This product is provided with a power supply that automatically 
adjusts to input voltages between 100 to 240 Vac.  A U.S. and 
Canadian 125 V power supply cord is provided with this product.  If 
using this product outside of the U.S. or Canada, please use locally 
available power supply cords
