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. 
 
 
   
 
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.  
 
 
 
Laptop Installation (optional) 
In addition to interfacing the EB2 expansion system to a PC, you can 
now add additional PCI Express slots to your laptop by installing 
Magma’s ExpressCard host and connecting it to your chassis with a 
dedicated iPass-to-TDP cable featuring an iPass interface on one side 
and a TDP interface on the other.  
Attach one end of the PCI Express cable to the Magma ExpressCard 
module and the other end to the connector on the back of the Magma 
chassis.
