12.
Turn the Echo Express SE I right-side-up.
13.
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 8)
. 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.
14.
Connect the included power cord between a wall outlet or
power strip and the power adapter; verify the connector is
plugged in securely. Note that the power adapter’s power
indicator will light at this time.
15.
Connect the power adapter cable to the Echo Express SE I’s 12V
power socket. Note that the power indicator on the Echo Express SE I
chassis 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
some 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. Turn one
of the cable’s connectors so the Thunderbolt icon is facing down, and then
insert the connector into the connector clip as shown
(Figure 7)
. 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.
Support Note:
To ensure the best performance possible when
connecting multiple Thunderbolt devices in a daisy chain, be sure to
connect 20Gbps Thunderbolt 2 devices such as this Echo chassis closest to
the computer, with 10Gbps Thunderbolt devices at the end.
