Next check the DIP switch settings on the Magma Host Card as shown:

The DIP switch can be set to either the x4 or x8 position as can be seen in the photo.

Since EB2 supports x8 speeds, it is recommended to set it in the x8 position for optimized performance and compatibility. It should only be set to x4 if one is certain that the PCIe slot on the host PC is x4.

Attach Powerand Expansion Cables

Carefully position the expansion chassis so that the supplied expansion cable will conveniently reach from the host computer to the connectors on the back of the chassis. Connect one end of the iPass cable to the expansion chassis’ iPass connector labeled “IN”. Then connect the other end of the iPass cable to the host card located in the host computer. Finally connect the power cord to the back of the chassis.

Connect one end of the cable to

Connect the other end to

the bottom iPass connector

the host card.
