For this feature to work, you need to install the Magma software driver. If running Windows XP, Server, or Vista go to our website and download the Expansion_DriverHP_2_6.exe, http://www.magma.com/support/drivers/index.html Follow the instructions on the screen. There is no hotplug support for 64 bit Windows, yet.

Each of the PCIe slots is controlled by a Hot Button as seen below:

Simply press the button corresponding to the slot you wish to “power- down,” hold the button for a minimum of five (5) seconds and then release it. The power has now been removed from that slot. All other PCIe cards remain fully functional, as they are independent of this slot.

Procedure for hot-un-plugging a PCIe plug in card:

1.Given a stable system booted with the Magma chassis, an applet on the right hand side of the start menu bar should appear depicting a card with a green arrow above it.

Double click on the applet.

2.A dialog should appear with the title “Safely Remove Hardware” in the dialog will be a list of devices that may be removed from the system. Within this list will be the cards currently plugged into the chassis.

3.Select a device and click on the “Properties button”.
