Chapter 4 Install 3rd Party PCI Cards

This chapter provides information on how to install 3rd Party PCI cards 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 PCI cards in the chassis.

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

IMPORTANT

We will provide reasonable technical support with 3rd Party PCI cards. 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 PCI cards, the PCI card manufacturer should be able to provide the best support.
