Hardware Setup
Choose a Suitable Location
• Locate Arrow on a flat surface.
• The location should be sturdy enough to securely hold its weight and withstand
the pressure of operating the top panel controls.
• Leave enough room at the front and rear of the unit for connecting cables.
Connect Arrow to the Computer
Caution: Before connecting Arrow to the computer, lower the volume of the
monitor speakers (if connected) and remove headphones from your ears.
1. Connect a Thunderbolt 3 cable (not included) to the Thunderbolt 3 port on
Arrow's rear panel.
2. Connect the other end of the Thunderbolt 3 cable to a Thunderbolt 3 port on the
computer.
About Thunderbolt 3 Power
• Arrow is bus powered by its Thunderbolt 3 connection to the computer. A power
cable, external power supply, or Thunderbolt 2 cable cannot be used to power
Arrow.
• When using Arrow with notebook computers, connecting the computer to AC
power is suggested to conserve the computer's battery resources.
• When notebook computers are sleeping, power events such as connecting/
disconnecting Thunderbolt devices, USB-C devices, and/or power adapters may
cause peripheral devices (including Arrow) to briefly power on.
