For this feature to work, you need to install the Magma software 
driver. See 

 for instructions on how to download the 

latest software for your system, should you require this feature. 

 

Each of the PCIe slots is controlled by a Hotplug Button as seen below:  

  

Simply press the button corresponding to the slot you wish to “power-
down.” The power will now be removed from that slot so that the card 
can be replaced. All other PCIe cards remain fully functional, as they 
are independent of this slot. Below is the outlined procedure step-by-
step: 

1.  Given a stable Windows-based system booted with 

the Magma chassis, an applet on the right hand side 
of the start menu bar should appear depicting a card 
with a green arrow above it.   
 
Double click on the applet.   
 

2.  A dialog should appear with the title “Safely Remove 

Hardware” in the dialog will be a list of devices that may be 
removed from the system.  Within this list will be the cards 
currently plugged into the chassis.   
 

        Select a device and click on the “Properties button”.    
 
3.  If the device is currently in the Magma chassis, the location will 

show “Magma chassis x slot y”.  Where x identifies the physical 
chassis and y identifies the slot the device is plugged into.   
 
After verifying that this is the device to be removed, click
