Due to the need of thunderbolt to plug in some professional audio devices, we need to find an add on card for our LGA3647 platforms to provide those thunderbolt ports. The problem is, those adapter cards we found all require a thunderbolt header on the motherboard, which C621 and C622 motherboards rarely have.
If we don't plug in that thunderbolt header, will the port provided by the adapter work correctly? Or are there any other solutions to this need? Thanks.
