Install each USB 3.0 Transmitter and Receiver Module into a Q-Series Chassis (Q-1300
Q-2300, Q-4300 or T-Q4200).

On each Receiver module, remove the yellow sticker covering the USB 3.0 ports that reads
"Important Step: Disable Suspend settings on your computer prior to using this product!"

Connect the Receiver to the Transmitter with a pair of fiber-optic cables, up to 50 meters long,
(100 meters for a camera) with LC connectors. (See Table 1, pg. 14.)
7.
Connect AC power to the Receiver chassis. If the chassis has a POWER switch, turn it ON.

It may take up to 30 seconds for a storage device such as an external HDD to become
available to the system. In some cases, the drive must be assigned a drive letter in
"Administrative Tools > Computer management > Disk Management." Typically, the user
must have administrator privileges on the system to do this.
