computer, turn on the computer.

2. From the Apple menu, select About This Mac; the

System Information application will launch.

Info; a summary of specifications will appear.

4. Click System Report; a full report window will appear.

5. In the System Information window, click Thunderbolt

under the Hardware header in the left column
(Figure 9).

Tree header, you will see the computer, followed by
“Echo Express SE”

(Figure 9).

1. Click PCI Cards under the Hardware header in the left

column

(Figure 10).

3.

At the top of the right column, the installed card is
listed. By selecting the card, detailed information is
listed. You should see “Yes” next to Driver Installed and
Tunnel Compatible, otherwise the card or driver may
not be Thunderbolt compatible

(Figure 10).

Support Note:

If you do not see “Echo Express SE”

listed, disconnect and reconnect the Thunderbolt

cable between the computer and Echo Express SE. Note
that it is not necessary to shut down the computer before
disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, so long as the
installed card is Thunderbolt-compatible.

Support Note:

While the Echo Express SE expansion

chassis requires no drivers, the installed card requires

Thunderbolt-compatible drivers to enable its use.
