THUNDERBOLT TECHNOLOGY DAISY CHAIN
The back of the LaCie eSATA Hub Thunderbolt Series features two Thunderbolt technology ports for:
Direct connection to a Thunderbolt technology compatible Macintosh computer
■
Daisy chaining Thunderbolt compatible devices
■
Connect the cable to one of the interface ports on the back of your LaCie eSATA Hub and to your Macintosh
computer. The additional Thunderbolt port may be used to daisy chain compatible computer peripherals, such
as additional eSATA Hubs, hard drives, monitors, and much more. A single Thunderbolt technology line can have
seven devices, including the computer. Consider the potential speed and availability of storage when daisy
chaining six eSATA Hubs for a total of 12 eSATA enclosures.
Important cable info: When connecting your eSATA Hub Thunderbolt Series to a computer or compatible
devices, please use cables specifically constructed to support Thunderbolt technology. Go to
www.lacie.com
for further information on cables.
Important info: The eSATA Hub Thunderbolt Series must be connected to a Macintosh computer that
supports Thunderbolt technology. While the ports on the back of the device can easily seat Mini DisplayPort
cable ends, the eSATA Hub will not work when it is connected to a computer that does not support
Thunderbolt technology.
