The Blue light on the front of ExpressBox 3T is not an on off push button, it simply 
indicates whether the chassis is on or off. 

If either end of the Thunderbolt cable is disconnected, ExpressBox 3T will automatically 
turn off.  

Control Fan Speed 

For low power or self-cooled cards you can reduce the fan noise by moving the jumper 
found under the removable cooling fan at the front of the chassis to the slowest speed 
setting.  If the chassis gets hot during use, you should increase the fan speed to provide 
more cooling.   

You will need a pair of needle nose pliers or a similar tool used for grabbing small 
jumpers. Remove the fan cage at the front of the chassis and you will see a small board 
as shown below. 

 

 

 

The Factory Default is setting 2 (medium). The slowest speed is setting 4 and the 
fastest speed is setting F. 

F = fastest  1 =  fast  2 = medium (default) 

  3 =  slow  4 = slowest
