ƒDouble-check that the PCIe host card is seated correctly in the right PCIe slot. Note that a physical x16 slot (in length) can electrically be connected as x8 or less. Therefore it is important to consult your motherboard’s user manual to verify the actual bandwidth supported by the slot.

Check the DIP switch settings on the Magma Host Card:

The DIP switch must be set to the x8 position as shown in the above photo for the chassis to work correctly, since the EB7-x8 system supports PCIe bandwidths up to x8.

ƒTry moving the PCIe host card to a different PCIe slot.

ƒVerify that all required link lights on the back of the chassis are lit. All LEDs should be ON if all 7 slots are populated with PCI Express cards. The topmost LED on the left, labeled ‘0’ illustrates a good uplink connection between the chassis and the host machine. The rest of the LEDs light up depending on the populated slot number. In case LED ‘0’ is OFF, check the cable and verify it is properly connected. Also verify the Magma PCI Express Host card is properly inserted into the host computer slot. In case any other LED is off, ensure the respective card is functional and properly seated in its ExpressBox slot.
