SETUP AND CONFIGURATION STEPS—MAC USERS
This page instructs Mac users how to verify the Echo
chassis and installed cards are recognized by the computer;
Windows users should skip to the next page.
A – Confirm the Echo Express III-D 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 8).
4. In the top right column under the Thunderbolt Device
Tree header, you will see Thunderbolt Bus, and then
"Echo Express III TB3" (Figure 8).
Support Note:
If "Echo Express III TB3" is not listed,
disconnect and reconnect the Thunderbolt cable
between the computer and Echo chassis. 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.
B – Confirm the Installed Cards are Recognized
1. In the System Information window click PCI under the
Hardware header in the left column (Figure 9).
2. At the top of the right column, installed cards are listed
(if not, you may to install drivers before the cards are
recognized). Click one of the cards; you should see
"Yes" next to Driver Installed and Tunnel Compatible,
otherwise the card or driver may not be Thunderbolt-
compatible (Figure 9).
Support Note:
While Echo Express chassis don't
require drivers, installed cards require Thunderbolt-
compatible drivers to enable their use.
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!
