Congratulations on your purchase! xMac mini
Server 2H is a PCIe 2.0 expansion system and 1U
rackmount enclosure for Mac minis with a Thunderbolt
port. Through its two PCIe slots, you may connect
two expansion cards to your Mac mini to expand its
capabilities in ways never before possible!
xMac mini Server 2H has numerous thoughtful design
touches. The power supply and fans are user-replaceable.
The front panel USB port connects to the back of the Mac
mini, enabling you to connect a keyboard, mouse, or
thumb drive to the computer without having to access its
ports from the back. Other Mac mini interface ports are
extended to the back of the chassis and mounted on the
rear panel for convenient interfacing of Gigabit Ethernet,
USB, and HDMI cables. The xMac mini Server 2H's power
switch turns the computer on and off, and the PCIe slots
are powered on/off with the Mac mini for maximum
energy savings. An opening in the front panel allows the
Mac mini’s power indicator to shine through. There's a
central power hub for the computer and power supply for
the PCIe slots, enabling you to power everything with one
power cord. A locking bracket for the Thunderbolt cables
and holes for cable ties enable you to secure all cables,
keeping them tidy while avoiding accidental disconnects.
While xMac mini Server 2H requires no drivers, the
expansion cards you install do; Thunderbolt-compatible
drivers to enable them to work properly through the
Thunderbolt interface are required. More information on
which cards are compatible with xMac mini Server 2H
is available at http://sonnettech.com/support/charts/

7. If you are installing a card into PCIe Slot 1, remove the card from its
packaging, handling the card by its edges and without touching any
components or gold connector pins. Otherwise skip to step 10.
8. Line up the card’s connector with the slot, and then gently but firmly
press the card into the slot; do not rock the card or force the card
into the slot. If you encounter excessive resistance, check the card’s
connector and the slot for damage, and then try inserting the card
again (Figure 5).
9. Secure the card using the screw you removed previously (Figure 5).
10. If you are installing a card into PCIe Slot 2, remove the card from its
packaging, handling the card by its edges and without touching any
components or gold connector pins. Otherwise, skip to step 13.
11. Turn the card components side down, line up the card’s connector
with the slot, and then gently but firmly press the card into the
slot; do not rock the card or force the card into the slot. If you
encounter excessive resistance, check the card’s connector and the slot
for damage, and then try inserting the card again (Figure 6).
