Thunderbolt ™ 3 Port/
USB 3.1 Type C Port
This unified Thunderbolt 3 port/ USB 3.1 port allows for the connection of external peripherals to
the computer by combining PCI Express (PCIe), DisplayPort (DP), USB 3.1 and its own
Thunderbolt 3 technologies. Up to seven peripherals may be supported by one connector by
daisy-chaining the devices. Devices supported include HDDs/SSDs, Audio Interfaces, docks,
display devices, cameras, network cables etc.
Thunderbolt 3 supports high speed connections, and much higher video bandwidth than any
other cable, while still supplying power. Thunderbolt 3 also supports dual 4K monitor support over
a single cable, as well as high speed Ethernet networking. USB 3.1 supplies power across USB
for both notebook charging and bus-powered devices.
Install the driver as instructed in “Thunderbolt Port” on page 4 - 7 . This will install the
Thunderbolt software to your computer, and this can be accessed by clicking or double-clicking
the icon
in the Start screen, Desktop app or notification area of the taskbar.
You will need to enable Thunderbolt support in the BIOS “Intel(R) Thunderbolt Technology
(Advanced Menu > Intel(R) Thunderbolt)” on page 5 - 10 . You can also set the level of security
for the Thunderbolt port in the BIOS. If you want to use the Thunderbolt port to support display
devices then you will need to set the security level to support display devices only (see
“Security
Level (Advanced Menu > Intel(R) Thunderbolt)” on page 5 - 11 ). When the Thunderbolt port
is set to be used for display only, then DisplayPort 2 ( in Figure 1 - 12 on page 1 - 20 ) will
be disabled .
1. Plug a Thunderbolt
™
device into the Thunderbolt
™
port.
2. Some Thunderbolt devices will require their own driver installation at this point.
3. Access the Thunderbolt software to view information on device chains.
See over for details on how to eject Thunderbolt devices.
