Magma I/O expansion chassis

NOTE: The Magma I/O expansion chassis is no longer actively offered/sold. However, there are existing
customer installations where support will be required.
The 1U-high Magma I/O expansion chassis supports from one to four PCIe cards. The four PCIe slots
have the following capabilities:
• Slot 1: Full-height, doublewide, Gen 2.0, x16 PCIe slot
• Slot 2: Full-height, singlewide, Gen 2.0, x4 PCIe slot
NOTE: Slot 2 will be blocked when a double-wide card is installed in slot 1.
• Slot 3: Full-height, singlewide, Gen 2.0, x8 PCIe slot
• Slot 4: Full-height, singlewide, Gen 2.0, x4 PCIe slot
All four PCIe slots use x16 connectors.
NOTE: The two x4 slots provide connectivity only - not performance.
