Magma PCI to PCI Interface Manuel D’Utilisation

 

It is recommended that you refer to the separate Expansion 
Chassis User’s Guide included with your Magma Expansion 
Chassis product for complete system installation information. The 
following installation instructions briefly explain the connection of 
the host card to the host computer only. 

 

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 PCI host card into an appropriate vacant PCI 
slot by gently pushing the card until it is firmly seated.  

Notice that the standard PCI slots are located at a closer distance to the 
edge of the computer’s motherboard than are the PCI Express slots.  

 

You should also be aware that some host computers may also contain 
3.3V, 5V, and/or Universal PCI slots. Your PCI Host Card can only be 
inserted in 3.3V or Universal PCI slots. DO NOT FORCE IT into a slot. 
Check to be sure you are not trying to install it into a 5V PCI slot, or a 
PCIe slot. Once you have the host card firmly inserted into the correct 
PCI slot secure the card to the slot with a mounting screw.
