ApplyingPowerCorrectly

Starting Up:

You must apply power to the Magma expansion chassis BEFORE you power up your computer. This will allow the higher numbered PCI buses in the PCI bus hierarchy to be at a stable state when the host system issues its master power-on bus reset. In systems that perform automatic PCI bus configuration, this will allow the configuration code to recognize the PCI bus hierarchy and any attached devices.

There is an On/Off switch on the front panel, as well as an LED indicator to indicate power status. Verify that the green power indicator is ON.

IMPORTANT

When powering up, pay close attention to three LEDs on the PCI Express Host Card inside the computer. All three LEDs must be solid green before the system will function properly, as shown below:
