NOTE
It is highly recommended to install any 3

party PCI-E cards / High Power PCIe cards after
you have verified and tested the Magma expansion is functional and no hardware failures.
When installing 3 rd Party PCIe card, start with one card first just to see if there are any software and
hardware issues or incompatibility problems that may occur. This way you can troubleshoot the problem
more easily and efficiently. If everything works well and there are no configuration issues, you can proceed
with the installation of the remaining 3
rd
party PCIe cards.
Always refer to or read “3
