Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
The following steps will guide you in completing the hardware
installation of your MAGMA P13RR-TEL.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning
All PCI cards are susceptible to electrostatic discharge. When
moving PCI cards, it is best to carry the cards in anti-static
packaging. If you need to set a PCI card down, be sure to place it
inside or on top of an anti-static surface. For more information, see
“Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” in the Preface.
High voltages are present inside the expansion chassis when the
unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the
power cord from its source before removing the enclosure cover.
Turning the system power off at the power on/off switch does not
remove power to components. High voltage is still present.
Before touching anything inside the enclosure, move to an ESD
station and follow proper ESD procedure. Failure to do so may result
in electrostatic discharge damaging the computer or its components.
For more information, see “Protecting Against Electrostatic
Discharge” in the Preface.
If your MAGMA expansion chassis was not purchased directly from
Mobility Electronics, Inc., you must check to ensure that it doesn’t
contain any pre-installed PCI cards.
Check the rear side of the chassis to see if any PCI cards are
visible in the slots. If you see a PCI card, you should continue
installation using instructions provided by your dealer. If no
separate instructions are available, remove the cover by
using instructions in
.
Then remove the card as normal. If no PCI card is visible,
then continue with the cable installation.
