4               Chapter 2     Hardware Installation 

This chapter provides information only on how to install 3

rd

 Party PCI 

Express cards into your Magma ExpressBox

1

. More details on the 

installation of individual cards are provided by the card’s manufacturer.  

For the purpose of installation, Magma ExpressBox

1

 functions exactly 

as a standard desktop computer chassis. Always follow the 
manufacturer’s instructions for installing their card on a desktop 
computer. 

 

We will provide reasonable technical support for 3

rd

 Party cards 

installed in your Magma expansion product. However, if you have 
verified a successful installation of Magma ExpressBox

1

 (as 

defined in the Verify Installation section), but experience difficulty 
installing your 3

rd

 Party cards, the card manufacturer should be 

able to provide the best support.  

 

 

 

Two thumbscrews retain the cover on ExpressBox. The screws are 
located on the corners of the unit, on the left and right side of the cover's 
back edge. Loosen these screws by turning them counterclockwise to 
open the enclosure.  

 

Once the screws are removed, simply lift the lid to gain access to the 
available x16 PCI Express slot. Although the slot will accommodate x1, 
x4, x8, and x16 PCI Express cards, the connection to the computer is 
limited to x1 PCI Express speed.
