Chapter 4 Install Cards and Drives

This chapter provides information on how to install 3rd Party PCIe cards or hard drives into your Magma expansion chassis. More details on the installation of individual cards are provided by the card’s manufacturer. This chapter is provided as a simple guide to help you install your PCIe cards, or hard drives, in the chassis.

For the purpose of installation, the Magma EB2 functions exactly as a standard desktop computer chassis. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing their card or hard drive on a desktop computer.

IMPORTANT

We will provide reasonable technical support with 3rd Party PCIe cards or hard drives. However, if you have verified a successful installation of the Magma expansion system (as defined in Chapter 3), but experience difficulty installing your 3rd Party PCIe cards or hard drive, the card or drive manufacturer should be able to provide the best support.

RemovePCIeExpansion ChassisCover

By design, the top cover of the chassis is divided in two: One portion, covering the card expansion bay can be removed by simply unscrewing a thumbscrew on each side of the chassis (see photo below).
