MAGMA

If everything is OK, then the Magma expansion system installation is
complete.
If, however, the installation was unsuccessful, you may not see the PCI
to PCI Bridge, or it will have a small yellow
in front of it.
Proceed to Chapter 6 for Troubleshooting
installation problems.
Mac OS X
When using Mac OS X no additional software or drivers are needed.
The operating system should automatically recognize the Magma host
card and expansion chassis.
Expansion Slot Utility
The following screen may be displayed the first time you turn on your
computer with the Magma EB7 installed.
Choose OK.
MacOS X is prompting you to choose a PCI Express profile that
maximizes the performance of your attached devices. The Magma host
card can communicate up to a bandwidth of x4 to and from the
expansion chassis and devices. You should choose a profile that
matches the configuration of all the cards installed in your Mac. Magma
recommends that you install the system host card into a x4 slot in order
to maximize throughput.
In this example, the Magma host card is installed in slot 4 and appears
as “Intel PCI-to-PCI Bridge Card”.
