1. PCIe slot cover — Remove this PCIe slot cover if you are installing a double-width PCIe
card in the Helios. Even though the Helios has an extra PCIe slot cover, it does NOT contain
two PCIe slots.
2. PCIe slot — Note that there is an opening at the rear of the Helios. This opening lines up
with the single PCIe slot inside the Helios, and the opening will be filled by the bracket of
the PCIe card that you will install.
3. Thunderbolt 2 ports — Connect the included Thunderbolt cable between one of these
ports and another Thunderbolt port on your computer. The other Thunderbolt 2 port can
be used to chain additional Thunderbolt devices. Thunderbolt device chains can contain
up to six total Thunderbolt devices, and a display can be connected at the end.
4. DC power input — Connect the included 12V DC power supply here.
