PCIe to PCI HIF card LEDs

IMPORTANT

If any LED is not solid green, power off the system and check that the cables are connected properly before powering up again.

NOTE

The expansion chassis can function using only the x1 (1 lane) connection. The second cable provides the additional x3 (3 lane) connection. Combining the x1 cable and the x3 cable yields 4 lanes (x4).

Windows Start Up

As your Windows computer starts up, you will see a small message box pop-up in the lower-right corner of the screen to alert you that Windows has found new hardware.

You are now ready to go. No drivers are needed. Now go to Chapter 3 Verify Installation.

MAC Start Up

Apple MAC OS computers will boot up without any visible indicators that the Expansion System is connected. Go to Chapter 3 Verify Installation.

Shutting Down:

STOP

DO NOT TURN OFF THE MAGMA EXPANSION CHASSIS UNTIL YOU HAVE SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER COMPLETELY! It can cause a system lockup and loss of any unsaved data.

When shutting your system down, it is recommended that you first shut down the computer correctly, and then power down the Magma expansion chassis to avoid ‘computer lock-up’ and potential data loss.
