| Why aren't the Apogee Symphony 64 and Avid HD Native cards compatible with Echo Express SE I? | Jan-16-23 |
| The Apogee Symphony 64 and Avid HD Native cards are not compatible with the Echo Express SE I because these manufacturers didn't closely follow the PCIe spec. Because each of these card draws more than 3A at 3.3V (the PCIe spec), the manufacturer should have put a 12V to 3.3V regulator on their cards, but did not. In a Mac Pro tower or PC desktop, it does not matter to borrow some 3.3V power capacity from an adjacent slot. However, the SEL or SE I do not have an adjacent slot from which to borrow. Sonnet multi-slot chassis have enough 3.3V power these cards.
The Apogee Symphony 64 card is supported in any Sonnet multi-slot chassis. We recommend the Echo Express SE IIIe.
The Avid HD Native card is supported only (for other reasons) in the Echo III-D/R, the HDX edition of Echo Express III-D, and the discontinued Echo Express SE II. |

| Matrox Cards do not support Windows 10 Fast Startup option. | Nov-30-23 |
| When using Matrox Cards in a Thunderbolt Expansion chassis, you need to disable Fast Startup under Windows 10.
To disable Fast Startup, first, open your power options by hitting Windows+X or right-clicking your Start menu and selecting Power Options. In the Power Options window, click "Choose what the power buttons do."
If this is the first time you've messed with these settings, you'll need click "Change settings that are currently unavailable" to make the Fast Startup option available for configuration.
Scroll to the bottom of the window and you should see "Turn on fast startup (recommended)", along with other shutdown settings. Just uncheck this box to disable Fast Startup. Save your changes and shut down your system. |

| I want to provide my own power to the Echo Express SEL / SE-I. What do I need to provide? | Apr-11-23 |
| The Echo Express SEL and SE-I come with a 60W power supply that provides 12V at 5A. The SEL and SE-I can tolerate 12V +/-8%.
The power budget is:
15W for upstream power delivery to the computer (if your computer otherwise powered, you do not need)
15W for downstream bus power (if you have no downstream device or a wall-powered downstream device, you do not need)
25W for the PCIe card (you need to budget for your PCIe card; most cards do not take nearly this much)
5W for internal use (required)
The connector is 5.5mm/2.4mm. Two spring contacts on connector 2.4mm inner barrel required. |
