Install the PCIe peripheral cards following the card manufacturer’s recommendations. Some PCIe card manufacturers recommend that you install their software driver(s) prior to installing the hardware. If this is the case, you should install their driver before you connect and power up the expansion chassis.
Make sure that all PCIe 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 enclosure with their retaining screws (supplied with the Magma expansion chassis).
IMPORTANT
The sheer number of PCIe cards and device drivers available makes it impossible for Magma to fully test and certify all available PCIe cards for use in the Magma expansion chassis. Our best advice to you in this regard is to insist on full PCI Express Specification compliance from your card and system vendors. Cards and systems should be at least compliant with PCIe revision
1.0or better. Compliance in your system motherboard, PCIe cards, and console firmware (or BIOS) is your best assurance that everything will install and operate smoothly.
Installing Hard Drives
Installing up to four (4) hard drives into your chassis is simple using an optional Drive Cages (PN: RDRIVECAGE), available from MAGMA. Each cage can hold up to four (4) 3.5” hard drives.
The cages mount into the hard drive areas in
the chassis identified by a 
in the previous graphic. Each drive will need to be connected to a corresponding PCIe controller residing in one of the 7 slots available.
