0$*0$ &KDSWHU ,QWURGXFWLRQ The 4 Slot Desktop/Rack-mount PCI Expansion System MAGMA's 4 Slot PCI Expansion System is a general-purpose bus expansion system for the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) local bus. The expansion bus is fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification. The PCI expansion system consists of a PCI host interface card, an expansion bus cable (a shielded, high-speed cable), an expansion motherboard and a desktop/rack-mount enclosure with a power supply.
0$*0$ Follow these suggested guidelines and cautions while setting up your PCI Expansion System: • Only use the interface cable provided by MAGMA • Use keyed connectors (to prevent attaching a cable backwards) • Be careful when routing signal cables to your devices • Avoid sharp bends or folds in the signal cable • Provide enough slack to allow easy device placement • Beware of sources of scuffing and abrasion damage to the cables • Secure the devices in their shelves using the appropriate hard

0$*0$ &KDSWHU 4XLFN 6WDUW *XLGH The following steps will guide you in completing the installation of your new 4 Slot PCI Expansion System. 4 Slot CardBus PCI Expansion Systems Only Supported Operating Systems It is HIGHLY recommended that Microsoft Windows users meticulously follow the MAGMA Software Driver Installation instructions detailed in Appendix B of this manual.
0$*0$ Step One: Remove PCI Expansion System Cover WARNING High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis 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 chassis, move to an ESD station and follow proper ESD procedure.
0$*0$ 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”.
0$*0$ NOTE Not all PCI cards are as "well-behaved" as they should be. Sometimes simply moving a PCI card that is having a problem to a different slot, or reordering your cards in their slots, may alleviate "behavior" problems. Step Three: Attach PCI Expansion Cable Carefully position the PCI Expansion System so that the supplied expansion cable will conveniently reach from the connector of the CardBus Card to the connector of the 4 Slot chassis.
0$*0$ Step Five: Recheck Installation Check your installation before powering up the 4 Slot CardBus PCI Expansion System 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.
0$*0$ Step Seven: Install Software Drivers WARNING You WILL be prompted to Shut Down and Reboot your system several times during software installation. Please be patient, each Shut Down and Reboot does serve a purpose and is required for correct installation. If you Shut Down and Reboot when requested, it may save you from having to make a call to MAGMA Technical Support. Mac OS 9.x or Mac OS X If you are running Mac OS, you may skip this step and continue to Step Eight.
0$*0$ Step Eight: System Should Be Up and Running WARNING High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the power cord from its source before replacing the chassis 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 chassis, move to an ESD station and follow proper ESD procedure.
0$*0$ 4 Slot PCI to PCI Expansion Systems Only: Step One: Remove PCI Expansion System Cover WARNING High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning the system power off at the power on/off switch does not remove power to components. High voltage is still present.
0$*0$ CAUTION Before touching anything inside the chassis, 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”. Use the procedures for shutting down your system provided in your owner's manual or system documentation. Turn off power to your computer, but DO NOT unplug the power cord from the power receptacle.
0$*0$ Step Five: Install PCI Cards in PCI Expansion System WARNING High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning the system power off at the power on/off switch does not remove power to components. High voltage is still present. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning All PCI cards are susceptible to electrostatic discharge.
0$*0$ use in the PCI expansion system. Our best advice to you in this regard is to insist on full PCI Specification compliance from your card and system vendors. Cards and systems should be at least PCI Specification Revision 2.0 compliant with 2.1 compliance recommended. Compliance in your system motherboard, PCI cards and console firmware (or BIOS) is your best assurance that everything will install and operate smoothly. NOTE Not all PCI cards are as "well-behaved" as they should be.
0$*0$ NOTE The “Quiet” 275-watt and the 300-watt power supplies are auto switching, which means the power supply will automatically adjust to the voltage required for the region you are in. Powering Up: You must apply power to the PCI Expansion System first and then power up your host computer. This will allow the higher numbered PCI buses in your hierarchy to be at a stable state at the time that the host system issues its master power-on bus reset.
0$*0$ If you are still having problems, contact MAGMA Technical Support for more help. Step Ten: Finishing Touches WARNING High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the power cord from its source before replacing the chassis cover. Turning the system power off at the power on/off switch does not remove power to components. High voltage is still present.
0$*0$ &KDSWHU %XV +LHUDUFK\ Bus Hierarchy The following figures are representative of the PCI Bus hierarchies for the 4 Slot CardBus and PCI to PCI Expansion Systems. These figures pictorially conveys the overall PCI bus topology of the system. The key point in the following figure of the 4 Slot Topology is the connecting cable between the Host Interface Card and the Expansion Interface is actually a PCI bus itself. In general, we do not know what the actual Bus numbers are.
0$*0$ &KDSWHU $GYDQFHG ,QVWDOODWLRQ *XLGH Installation Notes If at all possible, plug the power cords from the PCI expansion system and your host computer into a shared power strip, preferably one that has surge and noise suppression circuitry built into it. Make sure that all PCI cards are fully seated in their connectors. When correctly seated in its connector, you will notice a firm resistance when you pull up gently on the card.
0$*0$ Extended Daisy-Chain Configuration In this case, the bus labeled (Bus 6) is obviously further downstream (hierarchically speaking) than the bus labeled (Bus 4). And, of course, there is a caveat to all of this: the bus numbering depends on the algorithm implemented by your BIOS or console firmware configuration code.
0$*0$ buses. Similarly, lower numbered buses are termed to be "upstream" of higher numbered buses. Each PPB has a primary side (which is attached to the "upstream" or lower numbered PCI bus), and a secondary side (which is attached to the "downstream" or higher numbered PCI bus). In the case of the MAGMA PCI Expansion System, the PCI host interface card, which is plugged into an available slot on your host computer, has at its "upstream" side (Bus 0) and at its "downstream" side the cable (Bus 1).
0$*0$ During configuration of your system's PCI cards, the PCI bus must be probed in order to determine which, if any, PCI cards are present in your system. The probe instructions used ensure that PCI slots that contain valid cards are configured into your system in a consistent and reliable manner and that any invalid option card, or empty option slot, is ignored.
