System Should Be Up and Running

Apply power to the Magma expansion chassis first, then power up the computer.

Use the procedures detailed in Chapter 3 to confirm the card installation(s) in the Windows Device Manager or Apple System Profiler. When everything is functioning correctly, your Windows Device Manager should look something like this for any given slot:

NOTE: The Physical slots do not show up in order as demonstrated above in Device Manager!

If you discover that any of your 3rd Party PCIe cards contains a (exclamation) you have a problem with that card. Refer to Chapter 6 Troubleshooting for further guidance.

FinishingTouches

After your system is working properly, replace any empty slots with slot covers, and replace the host computer and the expansion chassis covers.

Last, if you previously installed the rack slides (PN RSLIDES-XX), simply insert the chassis rails into the rack rail, slide it into the rack and snap-lock it into position.

“Hot-Swappable”PCIeCards(optional)

New technology allows you to remove your 3rd Party PCIe cards for maintenance or replacement – without shutting the system down.
