CAUTION
All cables attached to the expansion chassis must be securely
fastened. When you hear a “click,” it is properly secured. If not
securely connected, the connectors may cause intermittent or lost
connections.
NOTE
If at all possible, plug all power cords from the expansion chassis
and your host computer into a shared power strip, preferably one
that has surge and noise suppression circuitry built into it.
Laptop Installation (optional)
In addition to interfacing the EB7-x8 expansion system to a PC, you can
now add additional PCI Express slots to your laptop by installing
Magma’s ExpressCard host and connecting it to your chassis with a
dedicated iPass-to-TDP cable featuring an iPass interface on one side
and a TDP interface on the other.
