Computer Can’t Find the PCI Expansion System
If the expansion system is not visible in your Windows Device Manager
you should to turn off your computer (first) and then the Magma
expansion chassis (second) and test all cords and cables to ensure you
have everything connected correctly. If everything seems to be
connected correctly, and you are sure you have applied power correctly
(power up expansion chassis first and then the computer), then try
these additional troubleshooting steps:
Double-check the Magma EC54 to ensure it is in an
ExpressCard slot and inserted correctly. Be careful, some
ExpressCard slots are “spring-loaded” and can easily partially
eject the ExpressCard module without your knowledge.
Check to make sure you haven’t accidentally inserted the
Magma EC54 into your laptop’s PCMCIA or CardBus slot.
Double-check the expansion cable to ensure it is connected
correctly at both ends. Try another cable, if you have one.
If the expansion system is still not visible after trying all of the
