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 LED indicators to indicate power status.
Verify that the green power indicators are ON.

Windows XP and Windows 2000 Start Up

As your Windows XP/2000 computer starts
up, you will see a small message box pop-
up in the lower-right corner of the screen to
alert you that Windows has found new
hardware.

You are now ready to go. No drivers are needed. Now go to
