Before inserting the Magma ExpressCard, power down your laptop 
computer. Use the procedures for shutting down your operating system 
and shutting off power to your system provided in your owner’s manual 
or system documentation. 

Insert the Magma ExpressCard/34 module with the logo side up, into 
the ExpressCard slot on your computer. Gently push the card until it is 
firmly seated.  

 

 

The Magma ExpressCard module can only be used in a computer 
system that contains an ExpressCard slot. It will not function in 
CardBus or PCMCIA slots.   

 

 

 

If your laptop’s ExpressCard slot is “spring-loaded”, be sure that your 
ExpressCard is inserted correctly. It is very easy for this style slot to 
partially release a card if touched slightly.  

 

 

For more information on using ExpressCard modules, please refer to 
your computer’s user manual or system documentation. 

Power down your computer. Use the procedures for shutting down your 
operating system and shutting off power to your system provided in your 
owner’s manual or system documentation. 

After the host computer is off and all power cords disconnected, remove 
the cover and insert the Magma PCIe host card (EEX1) into a vacant 
PCI Express (PCIe) slot by gently pushing the card until it is firmly 
seated.  Be sure to secure the card with a retaining screw.
