Page 7
MAGMA
Preface v
♦ 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 guide for
precautions and procedures. If you have any questions,
please contact Technical Support.
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the expansion chassis when the
unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Disconnect the
power cord from its source before removing the system 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. Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from
the computer.
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
Page 8
MAGMA
vi Preface
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 yourself except as explained in
this guide. Follow installation instructions closely.
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is the enemy of semiconductor
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 wrist 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 packaging.
♦ 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.

Chapter 1 Introduction 1
Chapter 1 Introduction
General Specifications
The Magma PEHIFX1 is the PCI Express (PCIe) connection between
your Magma PCI Expansion System and your PCIe capable host
computer. PCIe is a next-generation I/O bus that uses a serial interface
and point-to-point connections called lanes.
The Magma PEHIFX1 provides a PCIe interface to the Magma
expansion system providing for the integration of legacy PCI cards into
the new high-bandwidth PCIe computers. Magma expansion chassis
are available in 1 Slot (for both full and half sized PCI cards), 2 Slot, 4
Slot, 7 Slot, and 13 Slot. The expansion chassis’s are fully compliant
with the PCI Local Bus Specification.
Pre-Installation Information
Before using the host card you should perform the following steps:
• Inventory the shipping carton contents for all of the required parts
• Gather all of the necessary tools required for installation
• Read this guide
Parts List
The following parts are provided:
Qty Item
1 ½ height PCIe Host Card
1 Low-profile mounting bracket
1 Software CDROM
1 Installation Guide
Tools Required for Installation
In order to complete the installation, you will need a
Phillips-head screwdriver.
Page 10
MAGMA
2 Chapter 2 Installation
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that you refer to the separate Expansion
Chassis User’s Guide included with your Magma Expansion
Chassis product for complete system installation information. The
following installation instructions briefly explain the connection of
the host card to the host computer only.
Install Host Card
Power down your 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.
After the host computer is off and all power cords disconnected, remove
the cover and insert the PEHIFX1 into a vacant PCIe slot by gently
pushing the card until it is firmly seated.
STOP
YOU MUST ONLY INSTALL THE MAGMA PEHIFX1 INTO A PCI
EXPRESS SLOT.
Only use cards WITH brackets.
This will ensure that your PCIe host
card can only be inserted into a PCIe slot. Although PCI Express
cards without brackets may fit into conventional PCI slots, you run the
risk of damaging the PCI Express host card if you insert it into a PCI
slot. Please ensure that your host computer has PCI Express slots
and install the host card only
into a PCI Express slot.
Notice that the PCI Express
slots are located at a greater
distance from the edge of the
computer’s motherboard than
are the standard PCI slots. Then
secure the card to the slot with a
mounting screw.
Although this x1 Host Card will
work correctly in any x1, x4, x8,
or x16 slot, using a higher rated
slot will not increase the speed
beyond the rated x1 speeds.
Page 11
MAGMA
Chapter 2 Installation 3
The PEHIFX1 is a “half-height” x1 PCIe card attached to a “full-height”
bracket for convenient mounting in most desktop computers. It is also
shipped with a low profile card bracket to allow mounting on low profile
computer systems.
For low profile case applications, you may need to change the mounting
bracket to the low profile bracket that shipped with your system. This is
done by removing the screws that hold the card to the bracket. Be sure
you are using proper ESD procedures when completing this action.
For more information on installing PCIe Cards, please refer to your
computer’s user manual or system documentation.
Attach Power and Expansion Cables
Carefully position the Magma expansion chassis so that the cable
supplied with your expansion system will conveniently reach from the
connector of the PEHIFX1 to the connector on the back of the
expansion chassis.
The cable connects to the host card using thumbscrews; therefore no
tools are required to attach the cables. However, in order to create the
most robust connection, it is recommended that you tighten the
thumbscrews with a screwdriver.
Attach one end of the PCI expansion cable to the PEHIFX1 and the
other end to the rear side of the expansion chassis.
Connect all power cords to the power-in receptacle located at the rear of
the enclosure.
Page 12
MAGMA
4 Chapter 2 Installation
Apply Power Correctly
You must apply power to the Magma expansion chassis BEFORE you
power up your computer. This will allow the higher numbered PCI buses
in the PCI bus hierarchy to be at a stable state when 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 any attached devices.
There is an On/Off switch on the expansion chassis, as well as an LED
indicator to indicate power status. For information about your particular
expansion chassis, refer to the separate Expansion Chassis User’s
Guide. Verify that the LED power indicator is ON.
IMPORTANT
When powering up, pay close attention to LEDs on the host card
inside the computer. All five LEDs must be solid
green before
the system will function properly, as shown below:
Page 13
MAGMA
Chapter 2 Installation 5
IMPORTANT
If any of the five LEDs shown above is not solid
green, power off the
system and check that the cables are connected properly before
powering up again.
STOP
DO NOT TURN ON THE MAGMA EXPANSION CHASSIS UNTIL
YOU HAVE SHUT DOWN YOUR HOST COMPUTER
COMPLETELY! It can cause a system lockup and loss of any
unsaved data.

Manager.
Find the ‘My Computer’ icon on your desktop or on the Start Menu.
Right-click and select ‘Manage.’
Using the Device Manager
Select ‘Device Manager’ from the items in the left side of the Computer
Management Window. Then click on the View Menu and select View
Devices by Connection.
Page 15
MAGMA
Chapter 3 Verify Installation 7
To see if your installation is complete:
Click on the ‘+’ sign to the left of the ACPI (BIOS) to open it.
This is typically found at the top of the Device Manager
Window.
Click on the ‘+’ sign to the left of the PCI Bus to see all PCI
Bus connections.
Click the ‘+’ sign to the left of the line containing the words “PCI
Express Root Port” or something similar. You should now see
the PCI Standard PCI-to-PCI bridge immediately below it.
When installed correctly, you will see two “PCI to PCI Bridges” below
your system’s PCI Controller.
The first PCI-to-PCI bridge is the host card in your computer; the
second PCI-to-PCI bridge is the expansion chassis.
If you have a 13 expansion chassis, the Device Manager will display
three bridges instead of two as shown above.
IMPORTANT
If you are viewing the Device Manager without the Magma
expansion chassis attached, you will see only one (1) PCI
Standard PCI-to-PCI bridge.
If everything is OK, then the Magma PEHIFX1 installation is complete.
You can now proceed to the Expansion Chassis User Guide
for help
with the installation of 3
rd
Party PCI Cards.
If the installation was unsuccessful you may see a small yellow
(bang) in front of the PCI to PCI Bridge, or it may not be visible at all.
Page 16
MAGMA
8 Chapter 3 Verify Installation
If any of these devices are not displayed as shown above, you should
shut down your system (host computer first, then the expansion
chassis) and reconnect the cables and reseat the PEHIFX1 to ensure
that you have a solid connection. Then restart the Magma expansion
chassis, followed by the host computer.
Next, try to verify the installation again, as shown above. If you are still
having problems, review
Chapter 4, Troubleshooting before contacting
Technical Support at (858) 530-2511. Additional troubleshooting help is
available in your Expansion Chassis User Guide
and on the website at
www.magma.com/support.
Mac OS X
When using Mac OS X no additional software or drivers are needed.
The operating system should automatically recognize the Magma host
card and expansion chassis.
Expansion Slot Utility
The following screen maybe displayed the first time you turn on your
computer with the Magma PEHIFX1 host card installed.
Choose OK.
MacOS X is prompting you to choose a PCI Express profile that
maximizes the performance of your attached devices. The Magma
PEHIFX1 is a x1 PCI Express card so it will operate at maximum no
matter which slot is used.
You should choose a profile that matches the configuration of all the
cards installed in your Mac. Since the Magma PEHIFX1 is an x1 PCI
Express card, any of the profiles will work; however, to maximize your
Page 17
MAGMA
Chapter 3 Verify Installation 9
performance with other PCI Express cards, Magma recommends that
you install your Magma host card into a slot designated as a x1 slot (slot
2 or slot 3).
In this example, the Magma host card is installed in slot 3 and appears
as “PCI-to-PCI Bridge Card”.
If your computer did not automatically prompt you to choose a PCI
Express profile, you can locate this utility under System Æ Library Æ
CoreServices Æ Expansion Slot Utility.app.
System Profiler
You can easily determine if the Magma expansion system has been
detected by looking under Apple System Profiler.
Select “About This Mac” under the Apple Icon
Page 18
MAGMA
10 Chapter 3 Verify Installation
Then click the “More Info” button.
Open the Hardware tab and choose PCI Cards from the drop down list.
When installed correctly, you will see at least two ’pci-bridge’ devices
under the PCI cards option. The first ‘pci-bridge’ is the host card in your
computer; the second ‘pci-bridge’ is the expansion chassis.
If you have a 13 expansion chassis, a third ‘pci-bridge’ will appear.
Any PCI Cards you install in the expansion chassis will appear behind
the pci-bridge device.
If any of these devices are not displayed as shown above, you should
shut down your system (host computer first, then the expansion
chassis) and reconnect the cables and reseat the PEHIFX1 to ensure
Page 19
MAGMA
Chapter 3 Verify Installation 11
that you have a solid connection. Then restart the Magma expansion
chassis, followed by the host computer.
Next, try to verify the installation again, as shown above. If you are still
having problems, contact Technical Support at (858) 530-2511.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
Identifying the Problem
If you have trouble with the Magma expansion system, you need to
identify the problem before you can fix it. For starters, verify that any/all
cards are inserted correctly and securely in the correct slot and that all
cables are connected properly. Be sure you followed the instructions in
Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of this Installation Guide, or in your
Expansion Chassis User Guide
. Always remember to power On and
Off correctly when rechecking and testing your installation. If you are
still having problems, try these simple troubleshooting steps.

Page 21
MAGMA
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting 13
Look for the “Error Code” in the box in the center of the Properties
Window and then go to the following Windows Error Code section for
information on how to resolve this issue.
My Computer Can’t Find the PCI Expansion System
If the expansion system is not visible in your Windows Device Manager
or your Apple System Profiler at all, you will need to turn off your
computer (first) and then the Magma expansion chassis (second) and
test all cords and cables to ensure you have everything connected
correctly. If everything seems to be connected correctly, and you are
sure you have applied power correctly (power up expansion chassis first
and then the computer), then try these additional troubleshooting steps:
Check to see if the Host Card has power. See if the two LEDs
on the top right corner of the card are lit. If the LEDs are on,
the card has power. If not, try moving the Host Card to a
different PCIe slot.
Page 22
MAGMA
14 Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
Double-check the expansion cable to ensure it is connected
correctly at both ends. Verify that the three LEDs on the left
side of the row of lights in the top right corner of the Host Card
are lit. If the LEDs are on, your cable is connected correctly. If
not, you might have a faulty cable. Make sure the chassis is
also plugged in and powered-up before you turned on the Host
Computer.
You can also verify if the Host Card is communicating with the
chassis during power-up. The 3
rd
light from the right should
flash briefly during power-up. Once the chassis connection is
established, this light will no longer be lit. If this light does not
flash during power-up, or if the expansion system is still not
visible after trying all of the above steps, go to
Chapter 5 to see
about getting additional help.
