Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

The following steps will guide you in completing the hardware installation of your Magma PCI Expansion System.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning

All PCI cards are susceptible to electrostatic discharge. When moving PCI cards, it is best to carry the cards in anti-static packaging. If you need to set a PCI card down, be sure to place it inside or on top of an anti-static surface. For more information, see “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” in the Preface.

WARNING

High voltages are present inside the expansion chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the enclosure cover. Turning the system power off at the power on/off switch does not remove power to components. High voltage is still present.

CAUTION

Before touching anything inside the enclosure, move to an ESD station and follow proper ESD procedure. Failure to do so may result in electrostatic discharge damaging the computer or its components. For more information, see “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” in the Preface.

STOP

If your Magma expansion chassis was not purchased directly from Magma, you must check to ensure that it doesn’t contain any pre- installed PCI cards.

Check the rear side of the chassis to see if any PCI cards are visible in the slots. If you see a PCI card, you should continue installation using instructions provided by your dealer. If no separate instructions are available, remove the cover by using instructions in Step 1. Then remove the card as normal. If no PCI card is visible, then continue with the cable installation.
