Thunderbolt SxS™ Card ExpressCard Adapter
Connecting the Echo Adapter
• Connect the Echo adapter to your computer or another
Thunderbolt device using only a Thunderbolt cable.
• Connect the Echo adapter directly to your computer, or to another
peripheral device at the end of the Thunderbolt daisy chain
connected to your computer.
Inserting and Removing Cards
• Do not force a card into the slot, as you may damage the card or
the slot connector.
• To insert a card, push it straight into the slot until it stops.
• To remove a card, pull it straight out.
• If you are using an ExpressCard/34 card to which you connect
cables, always connect the cables to the adapter card before
inserting it into the Echo adapter’s slot.
Before Using the Echo Adapter
Prior to using the Echo adapter with your computer, familiarize
yourself with the adapter and any cards you plan to use.
