Make sure that all PCIe 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 enclosure with their retaining screws (supplied with the
Magma expansion chassis).
If your PCIe card is too short for
the adjustable card slot guides, you
can rotate the slot guard to make if
fit. Simply loosen the adjustment
screw for the slot you are using
and slide the guard to pivot hole, as shown, and
remove it. Next, rotate the slot guard 180° and
reinsert it. Finally, adjust the card slot guard to fit
the card’s length.
IMPORTANT
The sheer number of PCIe cards and device drivers available
makes it impossible for Magma to fully test and certify all available
PCIe cards for use in the Magma expansion chassis. Our best
advice to you in this regard is to insist on full PCI Express
Specification compliance from your card and system vendors.
Cards and systems should be at least compliant with PCIe revision
1.0 or better. Compliance in your system motherboard, PCIe
cards, and console firmware (or BIOS) is your best assurance that
everything will install and operate smoothly.
