However, if you have verified a successful installation of the Magma PCIe Expansion System (as defined in Chapter 4), but experience difficulty installing your 3rdPPParty PCIe cards, the card manufacturer should be able to provide the best support.

IMPORTANT

The Magma PCIe Expansion System is designed to function exactly like your desktop computer. This means that you should follow the card maker’s instructions for installation on a Windows or Mac computer as if the expansion chassis WAS the desktop computer. When correctly installed, there is no difference to the operating system, removable cards, or most software.
