PCIe Expansion System User's Manual

MAGMA

CAUTION

All cables attached to the expansion chassis must be securely

fastened. When you hear a “click,” it is properly secured. If not

securely connected, the connectors may cause intermittent or lost

connections.

NOTE

If at all possible, plug all power cords from the expansion chassis

and your host computer into a shared power strip, preferably one

that has surge and noise suppression circuitry built into it.

Laptop Installation (optional)

In addition to interfacing the EB2 expansion system to a PC, you can

now add additional PCI Express slots to your laptop by installing

Magma’s ExpressCard host and connecting it to your chassis with a

dedicated iPass-to-TDP cable featuring an iPass interface on one side

and a TDP interface on the other.

Attach one end of the PCI Express cable to the Magma ExpressCard

module and the other end to the connector on the back of the Magma

chassis.
