Before inserting the Magma ExpressCard, power down your laptop computer. Use the procedures for shutting down and powering off your system provided in your owner’s manual or system documentation.

Insert the Magma ExpressCard module with the logo side up, into the ExpressCard slot on your computer. Gently push the card until it is firmly seated.

NOTE

The Magma ExpressCard module can only be used in a computer system that contains an ExpressCard slot. It will not function in CardBus or PCMCIA slots.

NOTE

If your laptop’s ExpressCard slot is “spring-loaded”, be sure that your ExpressCard is inserted correctly. It is very easy for this style slot to partially release a card if touched slightly.

For more information on using ExpressCard modules, please refer to your computer’s user manual or system documentation.

IMPORTANT

Due to an incompatibility issue between the chipsets used in the expansion system and those used by nVidia in its line of PCIe video cards, nVidia video cards will not function in the EB2 chassis if it is connected through the ExpressCard interface to the host PC. There is no issue interfacing with nVidia cards plugged into the EB2 chassis via the PCIe host card interface.
