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 smoothly.
NOTE
Not all PCI cards are as "well-behaved" as they should be. Sometimes
simply moving a PCI card that is having a problem to a different slot, o
reordering your cards in their slots, will alleviate "behavior" problems.
Step Six: Attach PCI Expansion Cable
Carefully position the PCI Expansion System so that the supplied
expansion cable will conveniently reach from the connector of the PCI
Host Interface Card to the connector provided on the 4 Slot PCI
Expansion System.
Attach one end of the PCI Expansion Cable to the Host Interface Card
and secure it using the captive thumbscrews on the cable. Carefully
route the cable to the 4 Slot PCI Expansion System and secure it with
the captive thumbscrews. It is important that the cable be attached
securely to the card connectors at either end.
Step Seven: Recheck Installation
Check your installation before powering up the 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 Eight: Power Sequence
NOTE
If at all possible, plug the power cords from the PCI Expansion System
and your host computer into a shared power strip, preferably one tha
has surge and noise suppression circuitry built into it.
