AttachPCIExpansionandPowerCable

Carefully position the MAGMA expansion chassis so that the supplied PCI expansion cable will conveniently reach from the connector of the PCI host card to the connector on the back of the PCI expansion. The standard size cable that ships with the P13RR-TEL is 1 meter long. An optional 1.5 meter cable is available from Magma in case you didn’t order it with your system during your initial purchase.

Attach one end of the PCI expansion cable to the PCI expansion host card and secure it using the captive thumbscrews on the cable.

Carefully route the cable to the rear side of the expansion chassis and attach it to the 68-pin connector, as shown below:

Secure the cable with the captive thumb-screws. It is important that the cable be attached securely to the connectors at both ends.

Before connecting the power cords, check that the expansion chassis On/Off switch is set to the OFF position. This switch is located on the right side of the monitor control on the front of the chassis.

If at all possible, plug all power cords from the MAGMA expansion chassis and your host computer into a shared power strip, preferably one that has surge and noise suppression circuitry built into it.
