13.
Turn the Echo Express SE III right-side-up.
14.
Connect the included Thunderbolt cable (or a comparable
Thunderbolt 3 [40Gbps] cable) between a 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 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.
15.
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.
16.
Connect the power adapter cable to the Echo Express SE III’s 12V power
socket. Note that the power indicator on the Echo Express SE III 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™ 3 Thunderbolt
connector retainer clip secures the included Thunderbolt 3
(40Gbps) cable to the Echo chassis to prevent accidental
disconnects. The included clip is compatible with Sonnet 0.5-
meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) cables, but it is not compatible
with Sonnet 1-meter Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) 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 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 connector.
