6 Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
Recheck the Installation
Check your installation before powering up the Magma expansion
chassis 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.
Applying Power Correctly
Starting Up:
You must apply power to the Magma expansion chassis BEFORE you
power up your computer. This will allow the higher numbered PCI buses
in the PCI bus hierarchy to be at a stable state when the host system
issues its master power-on bus reset. In systems that perform automatic
PCI bus configuration, this will allow the configuration code to recognize
the PCI bus hierarchy and any attached devices.
There is an On/Off switch on the front panel, as well as an LED indicator
to indicate power status. Verify that the green power indicator is ON.
STOP
DO NOT TURN ON THE MAGMA EXPANSION CHASSIS UNTIL
YOU HAVE SHUT DOWN YOUR LAPTOP COMPLETELY! It can
cause a system lockup and loss of any unsaved data.
Shutting Down:
When shutting your system down, it is recommended that you first shut
down the computer correctly, and then power down the Magma
expansion chassis to avoid ‘computer lock-up’ and potential data loss.
