When installed properly, any PCI or PCI-X card installed in PE6R4-I will be visible in

our Windows Device Manger or Apple System Profiler. If the PCI or PCI-X cards are

y
not visible, or have a problem, refer to Troubleshooting section.

Windows : To verify successful installation of the PE6R4-I on Windows, find the “My Computer”

‘lock-up’ condition and potential data loss.

Open “ACPI (BIOS)” > Open “PCI Bus” > Click the “+” sign several times until you reach a
PCI Express Root Port with a PCI Standard PCI-to-PCI Bridge beneath it.

When installed correctly, you will see two “PCI-toPCI Bridges” below your system’s PCIe
Controller.Any 3rd party PCI or PCI-X cards installed in the PE6R4-I chassis will appear
below one of the PCI-to-PCI bridges.

Apple System Prof il er : When using Mac OS X no additional software or drivers are
needed. As l on g a s you are us in g M ac OS X Version 10. 4 or n ewer, the operating system
should automatically recognize the Magma PE6R4 expansion chassis.

Select “About this Mac” under the Apple Icon.
