Chapter 4 – Echo Adapter Connection

1. Connect a Thunderbolt cable between either Thunderbolt port

on the Echo adapter and a Thunderbolt port on your computer
(or other Thunderbolt device in the chain connected to the
computer). If you are daisy chaining additional Thunderbolt
devices, connect another Thunderbolt cable between the
downstream device and the open Thunderbolt port on the
Echo adapter

(Figure 1).

2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, secure the Thunderbolt cable(s)

to the Echo adapter with the supplied Thunderbolt cable
lock

(Figure 1). Note that if you are using an optical

Thunderbolt cable, the supplied Thunderbolt cable
lock is not compatible; skip to the next step.

3. Connect an LC/LC fiber optic cable between the port on the Echo

adapter and the port on the switch or device.

4. 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.

5. Connect the power adapter cable to the Echo adapter’s 12V power

socket. Note that the power indicator on the Echo Express SEL chassis
will not light until the computer, and any other Thunderbolt device
connected between it and the Echo chassis, is powered on.

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.
