RechecktheInstallation

Check your installation before powering up the Magma expansion chassis for the first time. Although the power supply has an over voltage protection device built into it, it may not "trip" in time to fully protect a device that has been improperly connected, or whose power cable has been damaged.

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.

STOP

DO NOT TURN ON THE MAGMA EXPANSION CHASSIS UNTIL YOU HAVE SHUT DOWN YOUR LAPTOP COMPLETELY! It can cause a system lockup and loss of any unsaved data.

Shutting Down:

When shutting your system down, it is recommended that you first shut down the computer correctly, and then power down the Magma expansion chassis to avoid ‘computer lock-up’ and potential data loss.

STOP

DO NOT TURN OFF THE MAGMA EXPANSION CHASSIS UNTIL YOU HAVE SHUT DOWN YOUR LAPTOP COMPLETELY! It can cause a system lockup and loss of any unsaved data.
