SETUP AND CONFIGURATION STEPS—MAC USERS
This page instructs Mac users how to verify the Echo
chassis and installed cards are recognized by the computer;

A – Confirm the Echo Express SE III is Recognized
1.
With the Echo chassis powered and connected to the
computer, turn on the computer.
2.
Press and hold down the Option key, and then from
the Apple menu, select System Information; a System
Information window will open.
3.
In the System Information window, click Thunderbolt
under the Hardware header in the left column
(Figure 8).
4.
In the top right column under the Thunderbolt Device
Tree header, you will see Thunderbolt Bus, and then
“Echo Express SE-III TB3”
(Figure 8).
B – Confirm the Installed Cards are Recognized
1.
In the System Information window click PCI under the
Hardware header in the left column
(Figure 9).
2.
At the top of the right column, the installed cards are
listed (if not, you may to install drivers before the cards
are recognized). Click one of the cards; you should see
“Yes” next to Driver Installed and Tunnel Compatible,
otherwise the card or driver may not be Thunderbolt-
compatible
(Figure 9)
.
C – Install Card Drivers (If Necessary)
1.
Launch a web browser, and then go to your card
manufacturer’s website. Download and install the latest
drivers according to the manufacturer’s directions.
2.
Restart your computer; your Echo chassis is ready to use!
Support Note:
If “Echo Express SE-III TB3” is not
listed, disconnect and reconnect the Thunderbolt
cable between the computer and Echo chassis. Note that
it is not necessary to shut down the computer before
disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, so long as the
installed card is Thunderbolt-compatible.
Support Note:
While the Echo Express SE III
expansion chassis requires no drivers, installed cards
require Thunderbolt-compatible drivers to enable their use.
