MAGMA
8 Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
STOP
YOU MUST ONLY INSTALL THE MAGMA EEX1 INTO A PCI
EXPRESS SLOT.
Only use cards WITH brackets. This will ensure that your PCIe host
card can only be inserted into a PCIe slot. Although PCI Express
cards without brackets may fit into conventional PCI slots, you run the
risk of damaging the PCI Express host card if you insert it into a PCI
slot. Please ensure that your host computer has PCI Express slots
and install the host card only
into a PCI Express slot.
Notice that the PCI Express slots are located at a greater distance from
the edge of the computer’s motherboard than are the standard PCI
slots.
It’s important to make sure you are installing the Magma EEX1 into a
PCI Express slot.
