Thunderbolt Compatible Driver is Required
For MacOS, a Thunderbolt Compatible driver is required because it allows PCIe cards
to be detected in ExpressBox 3T. Ensure you have a “Thunderbolt Compatible” driver
from the PCIe card manufacturer otherwise the PCIe card will not be visible to the
system.
If the driver is installed, make sure it supports Thunderbolt. If the driver does not support
Thunderbolt you will see a message “Driver Installed: No
Click on the specific PCIe card in question to see if it’s Thunderbolt Compatible. If it
shows “Yes” then its compatible, if it shows “No”, the PCIe card will not be visible in
ExpressBox 3T.

If the verification is successful, you can install 3rd Party cards as well as auxiliary
peripherals, such as hard drives into the chassis.
