NOTE

Make sure that all PCI cards are fully seated in their connectors. When correctly seated in its connector, you will notice a firm resistance when you pull up gently on the card. To keep the cards in place, secure them in the chassis with their retaining screws (supplied with the PCI Expansion System).

The sheer number of PCI cards and device drivers available makes it impossible for MAGMA to fully test and certify all available PCI cards for use in the PCI expansion system. Our best advice to you in this regard is to insist on full PCI Specification compliance from your card and system vendors. Cards and systems should be at least PCI Specification Revision 2.0 compliant with 2.1 compliance recommended. Compliance in your system motherboard, PCI cards and console firmware (or BIOS) is your best assurance that everything will install and operate smoothly.

Step Three: Attach PCI Expansion Cable

Carefully position the PCI Expansion System so that the supplied expansion cable will conveniently reach from the connector of the CardBus Card to the connector of the 1 Slot chassis.

Attach one end of the PCI Expansion Cable to the CardBus Card and secure it using the captive thumbscrews on the cable. Carefully route the cable to the 1 Slot chassis and secure it with the captive thumbscrews. It is important that the cable be attached securely to the card connectors at both ends.

Step Four: Install CardBus Host Interface Card

NOTE

CardBus PC Cards can only be used in systems that support CardBus. A special keying mechanism prevents insertion in systems that do not support 32-bit CardBus PC cards.
