servicing any electrical component.

NOTE

An amplifying or explanatory comment related to procedural steps
or text.

CAUTION

Used to indicate and prevent the following procedure or step from
causing damage to the equipment.

WARNING

Used to indicate and prevent the following step from causing injury.

Disclaimer:

We have tried to identify all situations that may pose a

Safety Instructions

Before handling the MAGMA PCI Expansion System, read the following
instructions and safety guidelines to prevent damage to the product and
to ensure your own personal safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section
for advisory conventions used in this manual, including the distinction
between Warnings, Cautions, and Notes.

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 chassis when the unit’s powe
cord is plugged into and electric al outlet. Disconnect the power cord
from its source before removing the chassis 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. Follow the guidelines provided in “Regulatory Compliance
Statements” on the following page.

4. Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from
the computer.

LY  6ORW 6HULHV 8VHUV 0DQXDO

0$*0$

r

t

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
cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and
aligned.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to service the system yoursel f except as explained in
this manual. Follow installation instructions closel y.

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is the enemy of semiconducto
devices. You should always take precautions to eliminate any
electrostatic charge from your body and clothing before touching
any semiconductor device or card by using an electrostatic wris
strap and/or rubber mat.

Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD
workstation and follow proper ESD procedure to reduce the risk of
damage to components. MAGMA strongly encourages you to follow
proper ESD procedure, which can include wrist straps and smocks,
when servicing equipment.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD):

When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping

♦

carton, do not remove the component’s anti-static packaging
material until you are ready to install the component in a
computer. Just before unwrapping the anti-static packaging,
be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded.

♦

♦

♦

When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an
anti-static container or packagi ng.

Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If
possible, use anti-static floor pads and workbench pads.

Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the
components or contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges
or by its metal mounting bracket.

Regulatory Compliance Statements

This section provides the FCC compliance statement for Class A
devices and describes how to keep the system CE complaint.

The Following Information is Required by the FCC

FCC Class A Notice

If your system is FCC Class A, the following applies:

Note

- This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

NOTE

The assembler of a personal computer system may be required t o tes
the system and/or make necess ary modifications if a system is found
to cause harmful interferences or to be noncompliant with the
appropriate standards for its intended use.

CE Certification

The product(s) described in this manual complies with all
applicable European Union (CE) directives. For computer

systems to remain CE complaint, only CE-complaint parts
may be used. Maintaining CE compliance also requires proper cable
and cabling techniques. MAGMA will not retest or recertify systems or
components that have been reconfigured by customers.
