Windows Start Up

As your Windows computer starts up, you will see a small message box pop-up in the lower-right corner of the screen to alert you that Windows has found new hardware.

Now you are all set. The system does not require any Magma drivers in order to operate, unless you require Hot-Plug/Hot-Swap support (see Chapter 4 for more details).

You may now proceed to Chapter 3 Verify Installation.

MAC Start Up

Apple MAC OS computers will boot up without any visible indicators that the Expansion System is connected. Go to Chapter 3 Verify Installation.

Shutting Down:

STOP

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

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.

RackInstallations

Installing the Magma EB7-x8 chassis into an equipment rack has never been easier. Simply attach one of Magma's optional Rack-mount slide kits (PN: RSLIDES-XX) to allow you to mount the chassis in a computer rack and then simply slide the chassis in and out whenever you need to do work on, or in, it. These sets come in various lengths to accommodate various racks. Contact Magma for more information, or to order a set. When ordering, replace the “XX” in the part number with your required kit size (18, 24, 26, or 28 inches).
