Connecting your computer to a docking station

To connect your computer to a docking station, you must first plug the station into a power supply. The barrel end goes into the barrel-shaped port on the dock.

Once the dock has power, you can power it on by pressing the power button on top of the dock and plug it in to your computer using the attached USB-C cable. The power button should be lit up white.

Once your station is ready to go, you can plug in up to four displays (one HDMI, two DisplayPort, one USB-C), four USB devices (such as keyboards, mice, or thumb drives), and Ethernet, and they will all connect to your computer. The dock will also charge your computer.

While the dock can be attached to four displays, your computer may not be able to put out video to that many at a time.
