Chapter 1 – Introduction, System Requirements

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase! The Echo Express SE is a

Thunderbolt expansion system for PCIe cards. Through its PCIe

slot, you may connect an expansion card to your iMac®, Mac®

mini, MacBook®Air, or MacBook Pro to expand its capabilities in

ways never before possible!

While the Echo Express SE chassis requires no drivers, the

expansion card you install does; Thunderbolt-compatible drivers

to enable it to work properly through the Thunderbolt interface

are required. More information on what cards are compatible

with Echo Express SE is available at:

http://sonnettech.com/support/charts/thunderbolt/index.html

System Requirements

The Echo Express requires the following to operate:

• Mac computer with a Thunderbolt port

• OS X 10.6.8 or later

• Thunderbolt-compatible PCIe card (see Specications on page 9

for details), and Thunderbolt-compatible drivers for the card

• Thunderbolt cable (not included; sold separately)

Echo Express SE Exterior

1 – Power Indicator

This indicator lights when the Echo Express SE is powered,

the Thunderbolt cable between Echo Express and your

computer is plugged in securely, and the computer powered

on. Note that if the Echo Express SE is connected to another

Thunderbolt device instead of directly to the computer, any

other Thunderbolt device connected between the computer

and Echo chassis must also be powered on before the Echo

chassis’ power indicator will light up

2 – 12VDC Socket

Connect the included DC power adapter between this socket

and the included power cord

3 – Thunderbolt Ports

Connect a Thunderbolt cable between either of these ports

and your computer’s Thunderbolt port; the open port may be

used to connect another Thunderbolt device

Chapter 2 – Echo Express SE Description

Echo Express SE Inner Assembly

1 – PCIe Slot

This slot accepts up to an x8

mechanical, half-length (up to 6.6"

long), full- height, single-width PCIe

2.0 card, and also supports PCIe 1.1

cards

2 – Fan

The temperature-controlled fan

provides cooling for the installed

PCIe card and the chassis’ supporting

Thunderbolt circuitry. It operates at

a whisper when the card is running

cool, and speeds up when the

temperature rises. Do not block the

vent holes on the front or back of the

chassis to prevent overheating

Echo Express SE Power Adapter

1 – Power Adapter

Connect this to the Echo Express SE

chassis’ power port. Note that the

power indicator on top lights when

the adapter is connected to AC power

2 – Power Cord

Connect this between a power outlet

and the power adapter. Note that

the power cord included with your

product may appear different than

the one pictured here, depending on

where the product was purchased

Chapter 3 – PCIe Card Installation Steps

Figure 1

1. Remove the Echo Express SE chassis from its packaging, and then set it

upside-down on a soft, ﬂat, level surface.

2. Remove and set aside the two screws securing the bottom of

the outer case to the inner assembly (Figure 1).

3. Turn the Echo Express SE chassis right-side-up, with the back facing

you (Figure 2).

4. Remove and set aside the two screws securing the

back edge of the outer case to the inner

assembly (Figure 2).

5. Without squeezing it, place your hand on top of the

outer case. Remove the inner assembly by gently

grasping its faceplate by the edges and

pulling (Figure 3). Set aside the outer

case.

Support Note: To avoid damaging components

due to static electricity discharge, wear an antistatic

wrist strap while working inside Echo Express SE.

Chapter 3 – PCIe Card Installation Steps

6. Remove and set aside the screw used to secure a PCIe card from the

Echo Express SE chassis’ inner assembly (Figure 4).

7. Remove the PCIe card from its packaging, handling the card by its

edges and without touching any components or gold connector pins.

8. Holding the card with the bracket on the left and the

connector pins facing away from you, line up its

connector with the slot, and then gently

but rmly press the card straight into the

slot; do not rock the card or force the

card into the slot. If you encounter

excessive resistance, check the card’s connector and the

slot for damage, and then try inserting the card again (Figure 5).

9. Secure the card using the screw you removed

previously; do not overtighten the screw (Figure 5).

10. Without squeezing it, place your hand on top of

the outer case. Gently push the inner assembly

back into the outer case (Figure 6).

WARNING: When handling computer products,

take care to prevent components from being

damaged by static electricity; avoid working in carpeted

areas. Handle expansion cards only by their edges and

avoid touching connector traces and component pins. Also,

avoid touching the Echo Express SE chassis’ circuit boards

and any of its components.

11. Using two of the screws you removed previously, secure the back

edge of the Echo Express SE’s outer case to its inner assembly;

do not overtighten the screws (Figure 7).

12. Turn the Echo Express SE chassis upside-down, and then using the

remaining two screws you removed previously, secure the bottom of

the outer case to the inner assembly; do not overtighten the screws

(Figure 8).

13. Turn the Echo Express SE right-side-up.

14. Connect a Thunderbolt cable between either

Thunderbolt port on the Echo chassis and a

Thunderbolt port on the computer (or other

Thunderbolt device in the chain connected to the

computer).

15. Connect the included power cord between a wall outlet or

power strip and the power adapter; verify the connector is plugged in

securely. Note that the power adapter’s power indicator will light at this

time.

16. Connect the power adapter cable to the Echo Express SE’s 12V power

socket. Note that the power indicator on the Echo Express SE chassis

will not light until the computer, and any other Thunderbolt device

connected between it and the Echo chassis, is powered on.
