Host Interface Card Installation
You need 4 Host interface cards. Begin installation by powering down your host computer. Use the
procedures for shutting down your operating system and shutting off power to your system provided in your
owner’s manual or system documentation.
The host interface card is mounted to a “full-height” bracket as shown below. For low profile case
applications, you may need to change the mounting bracket to the low profile bracket that shipped with
your system. Remove the screws that hold the card to the bracket. Be sure you are using proper ESD
procedures when completing this action.
When the host computer is off and all power cords are disconnected from the AC outlet, remove the cover
and prepare your host card for insertion into a PCIe slot.
When the Magma interface card is used as “Host” interface i.e. installed in the host computer, the RED
switch should remain OFF. Check the DIP switch and make sure it is set to OFF=HOST.
This version of Host Interface card has a mini built-in configurable toggle switch that can be set to x4, x8
and x16.
NOTE
There is no need to make changes to the link width, the card will automatically negotiate
the link width if different than x16.
The Default setting for the host card is x16 and OFF=HOST. This setting should be left alone and not to be
changed. Verify the interface card is set correctly for normal operation.
Note: The expansion chassis will NOT function if the red dip switch on the Interface card is set to ON and the
card is inserted into the host computer. As shown from the picture below, the Host Interface card is set to
OFF=HOST.
