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 Mobility 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  
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. Mobility 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  
General Specifications  
The MAGMA PCI Host Card is the connection between your PCI  
Expansion System and your host computer. Model PCIHIF68 is a 32-Bit  
host card. Model PCIHIF64LP is a 64-Bit low-profile host card that will  
also work in a 32-Bit PCI slot. The expansion system provides a  
general-purpose bus expansion chassis for the Peripheral Component  
Interconnect (PCI) local bus. MAGMA expansion chassis configurations  
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 MAGMA expansion chassis 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

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 PCI host card into an appropriate vacant PCI  
slot by gently pushing the card until it is firmly seated.  
Notice that the standard PCI slots are located at a closer distance to the  
edge of the computer’s motherboard than are the PCI Express slots.  
You should also be aware that some host computers may also contain  
3.3V, 5V, and/or Universal PCI slots. Your PCI Host Card can only be  
inserted in 3.3V or Universal PCI slots. DO NOT FORCE IT into a slot.  
Check to be sure you are not trying to install it into a 5V PCI slot, or a  
PCIe slot. Once you have the host card firmly inserted into the correct  
PCI slot secure the card to the slot with a mounting screw.

M A G M A  
If you don’t have any empty PCI slots, you can remove a PCI card to  
create a vacant slot. This PCI card can later be installed in a vacant slot  
in your new expansion chassis.  
The PCIHIF64LP is a “half-height” PCI 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 PCI Cards, please refer to your  
computer’s user manual or system documentation.  
Attach Power and Expansion Cable(s)  
Carefully position the Magma expansion chassis so that the cable  
supplied with your expansion system will conveniently reach from the  
connector of the host card to the connector(s) on the back of the  
expansion chassis.  
The cable(s) connect 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 host card and the  
other end to the rear side of the expansion chassis.

M A G M A  
Connect all power cords to the power-in receptacle located at the rear of  
the enclosure.  
Secure the cable to the computer with the captive thumbscrews.  
It is important that the cable be attached securely to the  
connectors at both ends.  
If you purchased the “half-height” PCIHIF64LP because your host  
computer is a low-profile chassis and you need to connect it to a  
32-bit expansion chassis, be sure to connect your expansion  
cable to the 32-bit (Teal) side of the host card.  
Finish connecting the power cable to your expansion system  
using instructions contained in the Expansion Chassis User  
Guide. Turn on the power to the expansion system first, and then  
the host computer.  
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. Two LEDs must be solid green before the  
system will function properly. If both LEDs are not lit, you  
may need to adjust the dip switch settings as described  
below.  
The PCIHIF68 (32-Bit PCI host interface card, labeled 01-03527-00)  
includes a voltage switch in the top right corner of the board that may  
need to be adjusted for proper installation. It is an easy process to  
determine if the voltage switch needs to be adjusted for your  
configuration.  
1. If both LEDs shown below are lit, DO NOT adjust the dip  
switch.  
2. If only the +5V LED is lit (closed to the end of the board), shut  
down your computer, then flip the switch to the ON position  
before continuing. When you power up the computer again,  
both LEDs should be lit.  
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.
