3.1 TROUBLESHOOTING

 -Begin troubleshooting by verifying that the power cable is connected to the miniStack STX 

and to a power source. If the power cable is connected to a power strip, make sure that the power 

switch on the strip is turned on. Then, verify that the Thunderbolt 4 cable is properly plugged into  

the computer and the host port on the miniStack STX.

 -If the miniStack STX is still not working properly, try connecting to another computer or using 

another Thunderbolt 4 cable. If you are still experiencing problems, consult Section 3.4 for OWC 

technical support contact information.
