Cable Connections
Installation of the US7220 is simply a matter of connecting the appropriate
cables. Refer to the installation diagram on the following page (the numbers in
the diagram correspond to the steps below), and do the following:
1. Use Thunderbolt cables (one is included with this package) to connect a
Thunderbolt-enabled Mac and/or PC to the Thunderbolt 2 ports on the
US7220. The power saving function will automatically shut down the
US7220 when the Mac or PC host is powered-off.
2. Connect a Thunderbolt (or Mini DisplayPort*) monitor to the Thunderbolt
2 Daisy-Chain port on the US7220. You can daisy-chain up to 4 additional
devices through the Thunderbolt 2 Daisy-Chain port.
3. Connect an HDMI monitor to the HDMI port on the US7220. The HDMI
monitor should automatically detect the additional display.*
4. Use mini digital optical (mini TOSLINK) or 3.5 mm analog audio cables
to connect the Line Out port to external speakers and the Line In port to a
microphone. The Line In and Line Out ports support optical signals for
higher quality playback.**
5. Use an eSATA cable to connect an external storage device to the eSATA
port.
6. Connect USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 peripherals to the USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports.
7. Connect a keyboard and mouse (or any other USB 2.0/1.1 peripheral) to
the USB 2.0 ports.
8. Connect a Cat 5e/6 LAN cable to the Ethernet port.
9. Connect a USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 peripheral device to the front USB port.
10. Plug the AC power adapter into the US7220's power jack, and plug the
other end into an AC power source.
Note:
1. If a Mini DisplayPort monitor is connected to the Thunderbolt 2
Daisy-Chain port, the monitor connected to the HDMI port will
not work. The US7220 supports either a Mini DisplayPort or
HDMI monitor but not both at the same time.
2. The audio Line In/Line Out ports only support optical or self-
powered sound devices, such as active speakers and mini sound
systems. To use passive headphones, you must use a digital
headphone amplifier.
