Connect your modules

Snap your modules onto CoreBar using the magnetic QuantumLink™ connection.

  • Place CoreBar on your desk — the 7-inch touchscreen is your command center
  • Bring KnobKey and DotKey close to the magnetic side connector on CoreBar
  • They will snap into place automatically — power and data flow through the magnetic connection
  • Modules can be attached in any order and are hot-swappable

Reconfigure them anytime — modules are hot-swappable. You don't need to power off CoreBar to rearrange them.

Power on

Bring your UltraBARX to life — two simple connections.

① Connect power

  • First, assemble the adapter and plug head: align, press firmly, and rotate toward "LOCK" until you hear a click
  • Insert the round end of the adapter into CoreBAR's DC 12V power port on the left side
  • Plug the other end into a power strip — CoreBAR will power on automatically
  • Wait about 20 seconds for the boot animation to complete

② Optional: Connect to PC

  • For deep PC integration, use a data-capable Type-C cable
  • Insert one end into CoreBAR's PC port (Type-C, also on the left side)
  • Insert the other end into your computer's USB port
  • Note: Deep PC integration currently supports Windows only
