Applying Power Correctly

Starting Up:

It is recommended that you apply power to the Magma expansion chassis prior to powering up your computer. This will allow the PCIe bus hierarchy to be in a stable state when the host system issues its master power-on bus reset. This will also allow the software driver to recognize the PCI bus hierarchy and any attached devices.

The system’s On/Off switch is located on the front panel, as well as an LED indicator to indicate power status. Verify that the green power indicator is ON after pressing the

button.
