  Always use caution when handling/operating the computer. 

Only qualified, experienced, authorized electronics personnel 
should access the interior of the computer. The power supplies 
produce high voltages and energy hazards, which can cause 
bodily harm.  

  Use extreme caution when installing or removing components.  

Refer to the installation instructions in this manual for 
precautions and procedures.  If you have any questions, 
please contact Magma Technical Support.  

 

WARNING 

High voltages are present inside the expansion chassis when the 
unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the 
power cord from its source before removing the system cover.   

 

 

Never modify or remove the radio frequency interference shielding from 
your workstation or expansion unit. To do so may cause your installation 
to produce emissions that could interfere with other electronic 
equipment in the area of your system. 

When Working Inside a Computer 

Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps: 

1.  Turn off the computer and any peripherals 

2.  Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their power 

sources to prevent electric shock or system board damage.  

3.  Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from 

the computer.  

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate: 

  To help avoid possible damage to systems boards, wait five 

seconds after turning off the computer before removing a 
component, removing a system board, or disconnecting a 
peripheral device from the computer.  

  When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its 

strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a 
connector with locking tabs. If you are disconnecting this type 
of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the 
cable.  As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned 
to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting a
