Windows Start Up 

As your Windows computer starts up, you 

will see a small message box pop-up in the 

lower-right corner of the screen to alert you 

that Windows has found new hardware.  

Now you are all set. The system does not require any Magma drivers in 

order to operate, unless you require Hot-Plug/Hot-Swap support (see 

Chapter 4

 for more details).  

You may now proceed to 

Chapter 3 Verify Installation

. 

MAC Start Up 

Apple MAC OS computers will boot up without any visible indicators that 

the Expansion System is connected. Go to 

Chapter 3 Verify Installation

. 

Shutting Down: 

STOP 

DO NOT TURN OFF THE MAGMA EXPANSION CHASSIS UNTIL 

YOU HAVE SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER COMPLETELY!  It 

can cause a system lockup and loss of any unsaved data.   

When shutting your system down, it is recommended that you first shut 

down the computer correctly, and then power down the Magma 

expansion chassis to avoid ‘computer lock-up’ and potential data loss.

Rack Installations 

Installing the Magma EB7-x8 chassis into an equipment rack has never 

been easier. Simply attach one of Magma's optional Rack-mount slide 

kits (PN: RSLIDES-XX) to allow you to mount the chassis in a computer 

rack and then simply slide the chassis in and out whenever you need to 

do work on, or in, it. These sets come in various lengths to 

accommodate various racks. Contact Magma for more information, or to 

order a set. When ordering, replace the “XX” in the part number with 

your required kit size (18, 24, 26, or 28 inches).
