EB7-X8G2 | Chapter 4 Install PCIe Cards
34
IMPORTANT
The sheer number of PCIe cards and device drivers available makes it
impossible for Magma to fully test and certify all available PCIe cards for use in
the MAGMA expansion chassis. Our best advice to you in this regard is to insist
on full PCIe Specification compliance from your card and system vendors.
Cards and systems should be at least PCIe Specification Revision 1.0 compliant
or better. Compliance in your system motherboard, PCIe cards, and console
firmware (or BIOS) is your best assurance that everything will install and operate
smoothly.
System Should Be Up and Running
Apply power to the MAGMA expansion chassis first, then power up the computer.
Use the procedures detailed in
