Apollo x16 rear panel (digital portion)
(15) Power Input
The included external power supply connects to this 4-pin locking XLR jack. Apollo x16
requires 12 volts DC power and draws a maximum of 72 watts (30 watts typical).
To eliminate risk of circuit damage, connect only the factory-supplied power supply. Use
the Power switch on the front panel to power the unit on and off.
Important: Do not disconnect the power supply while Apollo x16 is in use,
and confirm the Power switch is in the “off” position before connecting or
disconnecting the power supply.
(16) Thunderbolt 3 Ports
Apollo x16 has two Thunderbolt 3 ports. One port is used to connect Apollo x16 to a
Thunderbolt 3 port on the host computer. Thunderbolt 3 peripheral devices may be
serially connected (daisy-chained) to the second Thunderbolt 3 port.
When Apollo x16 is properly communicating with the host computer via Thunderbolt, the
HOST indicator (#4) illuminates.
Note: Apollo x16 can be used with Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2 ports on
Apple Mac computers via the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter.
Connections to Thunderbolt 1 or Thunderbolt 2 ports on Windows PCs are not
supported.
Thunderbolt Bus Power
Per the Thunderbolt specification, bus power is supplied to downstream (daisy-chained)
Thunderbolt peripheral devices. Apollo x16 must be powered on for the daisy-chained
peripheral to receive Thunderbolt bus power.
