0$*0$ &KDSWHU ,QWURGXFWLRQ The 1 Slot CardBus PCI Expansion System MAGMA's 1 Slot CardBus 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 CardBus Card, an expansion bus cable (a shielded, high-speed cable), and a chassis with a power supply.
0$*0$ • • • • 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 hardware Use the screws or brackets supplied with the device (suitable mounting brackets, adapters, and hardware are available from your local computer dealer or retailer).
0$*0$ &KDSWHU 4XLFN 6WDUW *XLGH The following steps will guide you through the installation of your new 1 Slot CardBus PCI Expansion System. 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. If you do not follow the driver installation instructions, you have greatly increased your chances of failure when configuring your system.
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. 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.
0$*0$ NOTE 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 chassis with their retaining screws (supplied with the PCI Expansion System). The sheer number of PCI cards and device drivers available makes it impossible for MAGMA to fully test and certify all available PCI cards for use in the PCI expansion system.
0$*0$ 2. Insert the CardBus Host Interface Card with the MAGMA logo side up, (gold strip up) into the PC Card slot. Gently push the card until it is seated firmly. NOTE If your computer has two CardBus (or PC Cards) slots, MAGMA recommends that you install the MAGMA CardBus card into Socket 2. 3. For more information on using CardBus PC Cards, please refer to your computer’s user manual or system documentation.
0$*0$ Powering Down: It is recommended that you first shut down the host computer correctly and then power down the chassis to avoid ‘computer lock-up’. 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.
0$*0$ NOTE It is HIGHLY recommended that Microsoft Windows users meticulously follow the MAGMA Software Driver Installation instructions detailed in Appendix B of this manual. If you do not follow the driver installation instructions, you have greatly increased your chances of failure when configuring your system. 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.
0$*0$ When replacing the expansion chassis cover, be sure that the side edge guides engage the inner rails of the expansion chassis. Use the 4 screws provided to secure the cover.

This figure pictorially conveys the overall PCI bus topology of the system. The key point in the following figure of the 1 Slot Topology is that the connecting cable between the CardBus Host Interface Card and the 1 Slot chassis is actually a PCI bus itself. In general, we do not know what the actual Bus numbers are.
