Three PCIe Slots

Supports three full-length, single-width cards, or one double-width card plus one single-width card.

Universal 300W⁽⁴⁾ Power Supply

Provides power to support every Thunderbolt-compatible card, regardless of size. In addition, a 75W auxiliary power connector allows use of cards that require supplementary power.

Two Thunderbolt 2 Ports + ThunderLok

The PCIe Computer Mounting Module features two Thunderbolt ports; one to connect your Mac Pro to the xMac Pro, and the other to daisy chain additional Thunderbolt devices. Sonnet includes a Thunderbolt cable to connect the xMac Pro Server to your computer, and a ThunderLok Thunderbolt connector retainer clip⁽³⁾ to secure the cable to the enclosure. Thunderbolt connectors are held in place by friction, which works well in situations where equipment remains undisturbed while operating. But when there’s a chance of movement nearby, there’s a chance the Thunderbolt cable can be unintentionally unplugged, possibly leading to loss of your work or data. Sonnet’s ThunderLok prevents accidental cable disconnections from xMac Pro Server’s PCIe Card Expansion Module, and is easy to install and use—just slide it over one end of the cable, and then plug in the connector and secure it to the enclosure by turning a thumbscrew. Because of its unique design, ThunderLok does not attach to the connector but remains on the cable so it won’t get lost when not in use.

Mounting Holes for BNC Connectors

Two mounting holes for BNC connectors allow the use of a RED ROCKET-X card without the need to install a BNC connector bracket that would normally occupy a valuable PCIe slot.
