Magma ExpressBox 3600 User manual

Step 1: Unpack the ExpressBox 3600
The box contains the following items:
• ExpressBox 3600 PCIe Expansion Chassis
• (4) Power cords
• (2) Host Interface Cards
• (2) Expansion Interface Cards
• (4) Interface Cables
Step 2: Installation of Cards and Cables
Install the two Magma PCIe expansion interface cards in the expansion unit. In-
stall the first Expansion Interface card in the designated PCIe “SLOT 0-UPLINK”.
And install the other Expansion Interface card on PCIe “Slot 5-UPLINK. Secure
the edge connector bracket with retaining screw.
AMBER LED is illuminated on the power supply upon connecting the external
power. Each power supply module is designated with one indicator LED.
Connect Cables to the back of Expansion Interface cards. And connect the
other end of the cable to Host Interface card. Connect Cable from port A of Ex-
pansion card to port A of Host card. And from Port B of Expansion to Port B of
Host card.
A to A; B to B
Step 3: Operation
Plug-in all four power cords to the expansion chassis. When using four 110v
power cords it is highly recommended to connect them into two separate 110v
electrical outlets on different circuit lines to prevent electrical overloads.

Quick Start Guide
Magma ExpressBox 3600
PCIe Gen3 HPC Expansion Chassis
Three Solid Green and One Amber LEDs are illuminated on the expansion interface card
LEDs D7,D8 and D3 when on (Solid Green): POWER / 3.3V is good. LED D5, when on (Solid
Amber): PCIe reset is asserted.
Remove top cover. Loosen the 2 thumbscrews that retain the top cover of the chassis.
Slide the cover backwards and upwards.
Install the two Magma PCIe host interface cards into an available PCI Express
slot in the host computer. Use available x16 PCIe slot. Secure it with retaining
screw.
EXPANSION HOST
Magma ExpressBox 3T-V3-eGPU does not have ON/OFF switch. The BLUE LED on the front
is an INDICATOR, not a power switch. To turn ON the expansion chassis, simply connect to a
Thunderbolt 3 equipped
computer.
Note:

Step 4: For PCIe Cards Or GPU Installation
Remove filler bracket for the expansion slot you wish to use in the chassis. Install PCI Ex-
press card into the slot connector and secure with retaining screw.
Step 5: Power On EB3600
Press the Power Button on the front switch to power up the EB3600 unit. Turn power
to the Magma chassis first before powering ON the host computer.
Turn on the host computer. Upon powering up the computer all four Solid
Green LEDs on expansion interface cards and Host Interface cards are illumi-
nated.

Front Panel Status indicators:
Under normal operating conditions the Panel Status indicators should be green at
all times.
An orange or amber LED means faulty hardware (fan or power supply).
Connect Auxiliary power cables (supplied) as required by the PCIe card. High power
GPUs typically require one or possibly two (e.g. Tesla K40) PCI AUX power connections.
Check with the PCIe card documentation.
Upon powering on the unit 15 Solid Green LEDs (on each backplane) are illuminated.
And power supply LED turns from Amber to Solid Green.
