MAGMA

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation 5

If you are installing a 64-bit 7 slot expansion chassis, two expansion

cables are required to achieve the full 64-bit bandwidth. Make sure you

connect the cable properly by mating teal to teal and purple to purple.

The 64-bit system will work with only one cable installed using the teal

connectors, but the system will only function at 32-bit speed when only

one cable is used.

Secure the cable with the captive thumbscrews. It is important that the

cable be attached securely to the connectors at both ends.

Before connecting the power cord, check that the expansion chassis

On/Off switch is set to the OFF position. This switch is located on the

left side of the chassis.

NOTE

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.

Recheck the Installation

Check your installation before powering up the Magma expansion

chassis for the first time. Although the power supply has an over voltage

protection device built into it, it may not "trip" in time to fully protect a

device that has been improperly connected, or whose power cable has

been damaged.
