My Computer Can’t Find the PCI Expansion System

If the expansion system is not visible in your Windows Device Manager or your Apple System Profiler at all, you will need to turn off your computer (first) and then the MAGMA expansion chassis (second) and test all cords and cables to ensure you have everything connected correctly. If everything seems to be connected correctly, and you are sure you have applied power correctly (power up expansion chassis first and then the computer), then try these additional troubleshooting steps:

ƒDouble-check the PCI host card to ensure it is inserted correctly in a PCI slot.

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

ƒCheck for a bad cable or connection. Try another expansion cable, if you have one.

ƒIf the expansion system is still not visible after trying all of the above steps, go to Chapter 8 to see about getting additional help.
