IMPORTANT

The sheer number of PCI Express cards and device drivers available makes it impossible for Magma to fully test and certify all available PCI Express cards for use in Magma ExpressBox1. Our best advice to you in this regard is to insist on full PCI Express Specification compliance from your card and system vendors. Cards and systems should be at least PCI Express Specification Revision 1.1 compliant or better. Compliance in your system motherboard, PCI Express cards, and console firmware (or BIOS) is your best assurance that everything will install and operate smoothly.

DANGER

Do not attempt to remove the protective covering over the high- voltage power supply. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Attach Cables

CAUTION

Before connecting the power cord, check that the On/Off switch is set to the OFF position (o = OFF, = ON). This switch is located directly above the 18-pin connector.

Laptop Installation

Attach one end of the PCI Express cable to the Magma ExpressCard module and the other end to the connector on the back of the Magma unit. The cable connects to using thumbscrews; therefore no tools are required.
