Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
The following steps will guide you in completing the hardware
installation of your Magma PCI Expansion System.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning
All PCI cards are susceptible to electrostatic discharge. When
moving PCI cards, it is best to carry the cards in anti-static
packaging. If you need to set a PCI card down, be sure to place it
inside or on top of an anti-static surface. For more information, see
“Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” in the Preface.
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the expansion chassis when the
unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the
power cord from its source before removing the enclosure cover.
Turning the system power off at the power on/off switch does not
remove power to components. High voltage is still present.
CAUTION
Before touching anything inside the enclosure, move to an ESD
station and follow proper ESD procedure. Failure to do so may result
in electrostatic discharge damaging the computer or its components.
For more information, see “Protecting Against Electrostatic
Discharge” in the Preface.
STOP
If your Magma expansion chassis was not purchased directly from
Magma, you must check to ensure that it doesn’t contain any pre-
installed PCI cards.
Check the rear side of the chassis to see if any PCI cards are visible
in the slots. If you see a PCI card, you should continue installation
using instructions provided by your dealer. If no separate instructions
are available, remove the cover by using instructions in Step 1. Then
remove the card as normal. If no PCI card is visible, then continue
with the cable installation.
