Safety Instructions

Always use caution when servicing any electrical component. Before
handling the MAGMA PCI Expansion chassis, read the following
instructions and safety guidelines to prevent damage to the product and
to ensure your own personal safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section
for advisory conventions used in this manual, including the distinction
between Dangers, Warnings, Cautions, and Notes.

♦ Always use caution when handling/operating the computer.

Only qualified, experienced, authorized electronics personnel
should access the interior of the computer. The power supplies
produce high voltages and energy hazards, which can cause
bodily harm.

♦ Use extreme caution when installing or removing components.

Refer to the installation instructions in this manual for
precautions and procedures. If you have any questions,
please contact Mobility Technical Support.

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 system cover.

Never modify or remove the radio frequency interference shielding from
your workstation or expansion unit. To do so may cause your installation
to produce emissions that could interfere with other electronic
equipment in the area of your system.
