Hardware Setup
Select a Suitable Location
• Locate Apollo Twin USB on a flat surface so its feet will maintain airflow beneath the
unit.
• The location should be sturdy enough to securely hold its weight and withstand
the pressure of operating the top panel controls.
• Leave enough room behind the unit for connected cabling.
• Do not block the cooling vents on the bottom or sides of the unit.
USB 3 Cable Length
Apollo Twin USB is designed for use with a USB 3 SuperSpeed cable length of two
meters or less (approximately six feet or less). Using longer USB 3 cables can have
adverse effects on system performance.
Important: Connect Apollo Twin USB to the computer with a USB 3 SuperSpeed
cable that is no longer than two meters in length.
Connect to Computer and Power
Caution: Before powering Apollo Twin USB on or off, lower the volume of the
monitor speakers (if connected) and remove headphones from your ears.
1. Connect the included USB 3 SuperSpeed cable between Apollo Twin USB and a
USB 3 port on the host computer. Ensure the cable is fully inserted at both ends.
2. Connect the included power supply to an AC outlet (Apollo Twin USB cannot be
bus powered).
3. Connect the power supply cable's locking barrel plug to Apollo Twin USB's rear
panel power input jack:
a) Align the tabs on the power cable's barrel connector to the notches on the jack
