Magma PCI Expansion System P13RR-TEL User Manual

 

Carefully position the MAGMA expansion chassis so that the supplied 
PCI expansion cable will conveniently reach from the connector of the 
PCI host card to the connector on the back of the PCI expansion. The 
standard size cable that ships with the P13RR-TEL is 1 meter long. An 
optional 1.5 meter cable is available from Magma in case you didn’t 
order it with your system during your initial purchase. 

Attach one end of the PCI expansion cable to the PCI expansion host 
card and secure it using the captive thumbscrews on the cable.  

Carefully route the cable to the rear side of the expansion chassis and 
attach it to the 68-pin connector, as shown below:  

 

Secure the cable with the captive thumb-screws. It is important that the 
cable be attached securely to the connectors at both ends. 

Before connecting the power cords, check that the 
expansion chassis On/Off switch is set to the OFF 
position. This switch is located on the right side of 
the monitor control on the front of the chassis. 

 

If at all possible, plug all power cords from the MAGMA expansion 
chassis and your host computer into a shared power strip, 
preferably one that has surge and noise suppression circuitry built 
into it.
