FAQ

Q1: Will this dock work with any laptop? How do I make sure 

my laptop works with this dock ?

A: This dock works with laptops with a Thunderbolt 3 port, or 

with a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and 

Power Delivery. To confirm the USB-C port function of your 

laptop, consult your user manual or contact your laptop’s 

manufacturer. 

Q2: Do I need to install any drivers to use the dock?

A: For macOS and Windows 10 and 8.1, the operating system 

will download and install the necessary drivers 

automatically. For Windows 7 or Linux, please be sure your Intel 

Thunderbolt software is installed. You can contact our support 

team for confirmation.

Q3: What kind of cable should I use to connect the dock to my 

laptop?

A: It’s recommended that you use the included Thunderbolt 3 

cable. If you need to use a different cable (due to loss etc.), then 

another Thunderbolt 3 cable should also be compatible.

Q4: How many external displays can this dock support and 

what are the maximum resolutions?

A: This dock supports connection to two external monitors—one 

connected via the HDMI 2.0 port, and another via the USB-C 

Thunderbolt 3 downstream port. You can also connect to a third 

monitor by connecting a USB-C to dual HDMI adapter to the 

Thunderbolt 3 downstream port.
