Echo Express SE II Inner Assembly
1 – PCIe Slots

These are x4 electrical (x8 mechanical)
PCIe 2.0 slots. They are also compatible
with PCIe 1.1 and 3.0 cards.

2 – Thunderbolt Interface Card

This is installed into its own slot and
may not be moved to another slot.

3 – Port Access Covers

These cover openings in the chassis
when PCIe slots are unoccupied.

4 – Temperature-Controlled Fan

This provides cooling for the installed
PCIe cards and the chassis’ supporting
Thunderbolt circuitry. It operates at
a whisper when the card is running
cool, and automatically speeds up
in steps as the temperature rises. Do
not block the vent holes on the front,
back, or bottom of the chassis to
prevent overheating.
