Slot Layout for Magma 7-Slot
Expansion Chassis
Magma models P7R-D1 and P7RQ-D1 have slots
that are numbered sequentially, right-to-left
from the front (4–10).
The 64-bit, 33 mHz Magma 7-Slot Expansion
Chassis model PCI7R464 has slots that are num-
bered sequentially, right-to-left from the front
(1–7).
Configuring the Magma 7-Slot
Expansion Chassis
Connecting the Expansion Chassis
Install the chassis host card:
1 Turn off the expansion chassis, your com-
puter, and any peripherals. Leave your com-
puter’s power cable plugged in so the computer
is grounded.
2 Open the computer case. For additional de-
tails on installing a card in your computer, refer
to its documentation.
3 Install the Magma Host Card in the lowest
numbered slot in your computer. On a Windows
PC (such as an HP Workstation xw8000 or Dell
Precision Workstation 650), this will be the slot
furthest from the graphics card. On a Macin-
tosh, this will be the slot closest to the graphics
card.
4 Attach a 2- or 4-foot expansion chassis cable
to the host card. If necessary, refer to the Magma
guide for specific instructions.
5 If using a SCSI HBA, install it in the highest
numbered remaining slot in your computer.

Before removing cards from their antistatic
bags or handling any card, discharge any
static electricity that may be on your clothes
or body by touching a grounded metal sur-
face (such as the power supply case inside
your computer).
Refer to your computer’s documentation to
verify slot order.
6-foot expansion chassis cables are not sup-
ported.
