SETUP AND CONFIGURATION STEPS—MAC USERS

This page instructs Mac users how to verify the Echo chassis

and installed card are recognized by the computer; Windows

users should skip to the next page.

A – Confirm the Echo Express SEL T3E Chassis is

Recognized

1. With the Echo chassis powered and connected to the

computer, turn on the computer. Note that if there are

any other Thunderbolt devices connected between the

Sonnet chassis and your computer, they must also be

powered for you to perform the following steps.

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 9).

4. In the top right column under the Thunderbolt Device

Tree header, you will see Thunderbolt Bus, and then

“Echo Express SEL TB3” (Figure 9).

B – Confirm the Installed Card is Recognized

1. In the System Information window click PCI under the

Hardware header in the left column (Figure 10).

2. At the top of the right column, the installed card is

listed (if not, you may to install drivers before the card

is recognized). You should see “Yes” next to Driver

Installed and Tunnel Compatible, otherwise the card or

driver may not be Thunderbolt-compatible (Figure 10).

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 you do not see “Echo Express SEL

TB3” listed, disconnect and reconnect the

Thunderbolt cable between the computer and Echo Express

SEL. 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 SEL T3E

expansion chassis requires no drivers of its own, the

installed card requires Thunderbolt-compatible drivers to

enable its use.
