Connect the included Thunderbolt 3 cable (or a comparable
Thunderbolt 3 [40Gbps] cable) between the Thunderbolt 3 port on
the Echo chassis and a Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer, or
other Thunderbolt device in the chain connected to the computer
(Figure 7)
. Note that cables or ports marked with the USB icon
(
) are NOT compatible. Secure the retainer clip to the chassis if
you attached it. If you are daisy chaining additional Thunderbolt
devices, connect another Thunderbolt cable between the downstream
device and the open Thunderbolt port on the Echo chassis.

Connect interface cables between devices, PCIe cards, and computer
as necessary.
20.
Connect the included power cord between a wall outlet or power strip
and the Echo chassis’ power socket. Note that the Echo Express III-D
T3E‘s power indicator will not light until the computer and any other
Thunderbolt device connected between it and the Echo chassis is
powered on.
Support Note:
Sonnet’s ThunderLok™ 3 Thunderbolt connector
retainer clip secures the included Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cable to
the Echo chassis to prevent accidental disconnects. This clip is compatible
with Sonnet 0.5- and 0.7-meter Thunderbolt 3 cables, but not with Sonnet
1- or 2-meter Thunderbolt 3 cables.
To attach the clip to the cable, remove both items from their packaging, and
then insert the connector through the connector clip as shown
(Figure 6)
.
Note that the connector will pass all the way through the clip; when you
connect the cable to the chassis, the clip will secure the connector.
