Magma PCIe Expansion System EB2 用户手册

If your computer “hangs” while being turned on and you can’t even start, 
follow the following steps to try to fix this problem: 

1.  Shut off the computer (first) and then the Magma expansion 

system and verify that all cards and cables are connected and 
seated correctly.   

2.  If it still hangs and you have added one or more hard drives in 

addition to several PCIe cards, ensure that you have not 
exceeded the power capabilities of the expansion system‘s 
power supply. You can verify the capacity of your power supply 
by checking the label on the power supply. If you are not 
certain about the power consumption of your peripherals, it is 
best to remove them one by one (starting with those you 
suspect of being most “power hungry”) until the system powers 
up.    

3.  If you have removed all 3

rd

 Party PCIe cards from the Magma 

chassis and it still hangs, try the following: 

a.  Remove the Magma PCIe expansion host card from the 

computer and try booting up without the Magma 
expansion system attached. 

i. 

If it boots up OK without the Magma expansion 
system attached, call Magma Technical Support. 

ii. 

If it still hangs, the problem is in the computer and not 
with the Magma expansion system or the 3

rd

 Party 

PCIe cards.  

b.  If it boots up OK without any 3

rd

 Party PCIe cards installed, 

try adding only one card and see if it boots up. 

i. 

If it boots up OK with one card in it, shut it down and 
swap cards. Repeat this until all cards have been 
tested. If they all test OK, then add them back one at 
a time until you find the combination that doesn’t 
work. If you find a bad card, call Technical Support. If 
you don’t – congratulations, you fixed it! 

ii. 

If it still hangs up, try a different card – this one is 
probably bad (or has driver problems). If the second 
cards works, troubleshoot the first card. If the second 
card also fails, call Technical Support.
