Installing 3

 Party PCI Cards 
Slot ordering in PE6R4 should begin with the slot farthest away from the 
power supply – labeled SLOT 4.  
Generally, when installing 3
rd
 Party PCI cards in the Magma expansion 
chassis, it should make no difference which PCI slot you place your 
cards in, unless specified by the card manufacturer. 
Install PCI cards following PCI card manufacturer’s recommendations. 
Some PCI card manufacturers recommend that you install their software 
driver(s) prior to installing the hardware. If this is the case, you should 
install their driver before you connect and power up the expansion 
chassis.  
Make sure that all PCI cards are fully seated in their connectors. When 
correctly seated in its connector, you will notice a firm resistance when 
you pull up gently on the card. To keep the cards in place, secure them 
in the enclosure with their retaining screws (supplied with the Magma 
expansion chassis). 
 
IMPORTANT 
The sheer number of PCI cards and device drivers available 
makes it impossible for Mobility to fully test and certify all available 
PCI cards for use in the Magma expansion chassis. Our best 
advice to you in this regard is to insist on full PCI Specification 
compliance from your card and system vendors. Cards and 
systems should be at least PCI Specification Revision 2.0 
compliant or better. Compliance in your system motherboard, PCI 
cards, and console firmware (or BIOS) is your best assurance that 
everything will install and operate smoothly. 
Not all PCI cards are as "well-behaved" as they should be. 
Sometimes simply moving a PCI card that is having a problem to a 
different slot, or reordering your cards in their slots, will alleviate 
"behavior" problems.
