Connect the included Thunderbolt cable between either Thunderbolt
port on the Echo chassis and a Thunderbolt port on your computer,
or other Thunderbolt device in the chain connected to the computer
(Figure 6)
. 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.

9.
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 power indicator on
the Echo Express III-D 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™ Thunderbolt connector
retainer clip secures the included Thunderbolt cable to the Echo
chassis to prevent accidental disconnects. Although it is compatible with
other copper Thunderbolt cables like Apple’s, it is not compatible with
optical Thunderbolt cables.
To attach the clip to the cable, remove them from their packaging, and then
insert the connector into 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 cable.
