disengaging it from the guides at the front of

CAUTION
When installing PCI cards or hard drives, please ensure that the input
current rating specified on the AC input label is not exceeded.
Generally, when installing 3
rd
Party PCI cards in your Magma
expansion chassis, it should make no difference which PCI slot
you place your cards in, unless specified by the card
manufacturer.
If you have PCI cards that need priority
assignments, slot ordering in your PCI Expansion chassis
begins with Slot 4, or the slot located closest to the power
supply.
Install PCI cards following PCI card manufacturer’s
recommendations. Some PCI card manufacturers recommend
that you install their software driver(s) prior to installing the hardware. If
this is the case, you should install their driver before you connect and
power up the expansion chassis.
Make sure that all PCI cards are fully seated in their connectors. When
correctly seated in its connector, you will notice a firm resistance when
you pull up gently on the card. To keep the cards in place, secure them
in the enclosure with their retaining screws (supplied with the Magma
expansion chassis).
