Step One: Remove PCI Expansion Sy stem Cover

WARNING

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

CAUTION

Before touching anything inside the chass is, move to an ESD station and follow proper ESD procedure. Failure to do so may result in electrostatic discharge damaging the com puter or its components. Fo more information, see “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge”.

Four screws retain the cover on the 1 Slot chassis. They are located on the rear of the unit. Remove these screws to open the chassis. Slide the cover backwards disengaging it from the guides at the front of the chassis by firmly grasping the rear cover lip over the card area and prying the cover backward about ¾” and then lifting the cover off the chassis.

Step Two: Install PCI Card in PCI Expan sion System

WARNING

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

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning

All PCI cards are susceptible to electrostatic discharge. When moving PCI cards, it is best to carry the cards in anti-static packaging. If you need to set a PCI card down, be sure to pl ace i inside or on top of an anti-static surface. For more information, see “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge”.

Install PCI cards following PCI card manufacturer’s recommendations. Be sure to secure cards using bracket screws. Also check to make sure PCI card inserted is not touching any components or metal chassis.

  6ORW 6HULHV 8VHUV 0DQXDO

NOTE

Make sure that all PCI cards are fully seated in their connectors When correctly seated in its connector, you will notice a firm resistance when you pull up gently on the card. To keep the cards in place secure them in the chassis with their retaini ng screws (supplied with the PCI Expansion System).

The sheer number of PCI cards and device drivers available makes it impossible for MAGMA to fully test and certify all available PCI cards for use in the PCI expansion system. Our best advice to you in this regard is to insist on full PCI Specification compliance from your card and system vendors. Cards and systems should be at least PCI Specification Revision 2.0 compliant with 2.1 compliance recommended. Compliance in your system motherboard, PCI cards and console firmware (or BIOS) is your best assurance that everything will install and operate smoothl y .

Step Three: Attach PCI Expansion Cable

Carefully position the PCI Expansion System so that the supplied expansion cable will conveniently reach from the connector of the CardBus Card to the connector of the 1 Slot chassis.

Attach one end of the PCI Expansion Cable to the CardBus Card and secure it using the captive thumbscrews on the cable. Carefully route the cable to the 1 Slot chassis and secure it with the captive thumbscrews. It is important that the cable be attached securely to the card connectors at both ends.

Step Four: Install CardBus Host Inter face Card

NOTE

CardBus PC Cards can only be used in systems that support CardBus A special keying mechanism prevents i nsertion in systems that do no support 32-bit CardBus PC cards.

1. Begin installation of your CardBus Host Interface Card by first powering down your laptop 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.

 6ORW 6HULHV 8VHUV 0DQXDO



0$*0$

2. Insert the CardBus Host Interface Card with the MAGMA logo side up, (gold strip up) into the PC Card slot. Gently push the card until it is seated firmly.

NOTE

If your computer has two CardBus (or PC Cards) slots, MAGMA recommends that you install the MAGMA CardBus card into Socket 2.

3. For more information on using CardBus PC Cards, please refer to your computer’s user manual or system documentation.

Step Five: Recheck Installation

Check your installation before powering up the 1 Slot CardBus PCI Expansion System for the first time. Although the power supply has an over voltage protection device built into it, it may not "trip" in time to fully protect a device that has been improperly connected or whose power cable has been damaged.

Step Six: Power Sequence

NOTE

If at all possible, plug the power cords from the PCI E xpansion System and your host computer into a shared power strip, preferably one tha has surge and noise suppression circuitry built into it.

NOTE

The 45 Watt power brick is auto-switching, which means the powe brick will automatically adjust to the voltage required for the region you are in.

Powering Up:

You must apply power to the PCI Expansion System first and then power up your host computer. This will allow the higher numbered PCI buses in your hierarchy to be at a stable state at the time that the host system issues its master power-on bus reset. In systems that perform automatic PCI bus configuration, this will allow the configuration code to recognize the PCI bus hierarchy and the attached devices.

  6ORW 6HULHV 8VHUV 0DQXDO

0$*0$

Power ing Down:

It is recommended that you first shut down the host computer correctly and then power down the chassis to avoid ‘computer lock-up’.

Step Seven: Install Software Driv ers

WARNING

You WILL be prompted to Shut Down and Reboot your system severa times during software installation. Please be pati ent, each Shut Down and Reboot does serve a purpose and is required for correc installation. If you Shut Down and Reboot when requested, it m ay save you from having to make a call to MAGMA Technical Support.

Mac OS 9.x or Mac OS X

If you are running Mac OS, you may skip this step and continue to Step Eight. There are no MAGMA drivers required for Mac OS 9.x or Mac OS X. The Mac OS operating system should recognize the MAGMA expansion chassis on first boot with the chassis powered up and connected to the PowerBook. See Appendix A for Mac OS 9 Verification Instructions.

Windows 98SE & Windows ME

Although a MAGMA CardBus Driver is not required, MAGMA recommends that you install the MAGMA Software Utility before connecting the expansion chassis to your computer. See Appendix B, page 15 for complete MAGMA Software installation instructions.

If you did not realize that you should have loaded the MAGMA CardBus Driver already, it’s okay. Since a MAGMA CardBus Driver is not required, you may be prompted to locate and load drivers for PCI cards that you have installed in the chassis at this time.

DC Power Options

Because the CB1 Systems operate on DC power, users have the option to run off any battery set, car-lighter adapter, etc., (provided they use the proper cabling). MAGMA offers an optional 6-foot long battery cable (CBLCB1XLR) for use with CB1 systems. The cable provides connection to the CB1 chassis on one end, and includes a 4-pin Male XLR connector on the other end, which fits the majority of 12-volt professional battery packs.

This cable may be purchased directly from MAGMA for use with the CB1. Please visit our web site at www.magma.com for more information.

The CB1 System is designed to accommodate DC input in the range 916 VDC (the most common voltages for batteries in this industry), and draw a maximum load of 45 Watts. Please use this information when consulting with your local audio/video supplier when reviewing battery options, and sizing.

Notes:

1. This table applies to CB1 systems only. Do NOT use for CB2 systems.

2. Calculations assume continuous operation at maximum designed load.

3. Margin of safety used is 10%.

4. Determine the number of Desired Continuous Operating Hours you would like to operate before recharging. (Column 1)

5. Determine the Battery Output Voltage

of the battery you would

like to use. (Column 2-4)

6. Read the cell value in the table for the Amp Hours

required.

Use this number when choosing a battery (or set of batteries).

7. If you required more than 8 hours

- use multiples of a lesser

number of hours.

Examples:

If you want 5 hours of continuous operation with a 14.4VDC battery set: Locate row 5 in Column 1 of the table above, read across the row to the

14.4VDC Column, you will find that you will need a battery (or set of batteries) with a total power rating of about 17 Amp Hours.

If you want 10 hours of continuous operation with this same battery set (at 14.4VDC), would need a total power rating of about 34 Amp Hours (2 x 17 from the above example).

For Batteries Rated in Watt Hours:

If the vendor rates the batteries in Watt Hours, then simply multiply the number of desired hours of use by 45 to get total Watt Hours requirement.

If you want to run the CB1 for up to 4 hours: 4 hours x 45 Watts = 180 Watt Hours

is required for the selected battery set.
