Install the hardware

1.  Select the appropriate regional clip for your region and connect the power adapter 

to an AC electrical outlet.

2.  Connect the power adapter to the DC input on the docking station.
3.  Attach the provided USB 3.0 cable to the USB host connector on the docking station 

and then to an available USB 3.0 port on the host laptop.

4.  Connect your DVI and/or HDMI displays to the corresponding ports on the docking 

station.

5.  As necessary, connect any other devices to the docking station, including an RJ45 

network connection, USB peripherals, a headset, speakers, or microphones.

About the docking station ports

The two USB ports located at the back of the docking station are standard USB 3.0 

throughput ports. When the docking station is connected to a host laptop, these ports 

provide a trickle charge to a selection of devices.
The front USB 3.0 ports are compliant with Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2 

(BC 1.2), which means that you can use the ports to connect and charge devices faster 

than a traditional standard USB 3.0 port.
These front USB 3.0 ports can fast-charge connected devices, even when the docking 

station isn’t connected to a host laptop. When the docking station is connected to a 

host laptop, the front USB 3.0 ports function as Charging Downstream Ports (CDP), 

which have simultaneous charge and sync capabilities.

Charge a device

If you’re only using the front USB 3.0 port to charge devices, a connection to a host 

laptop isn’t required.
•  Charge your device by connecting it to one of the USB 3.0 ports located at the front 

of the docking station.

Note: 

The front USB 3.0 ports can only fast-charge connected devices that comply with 

the USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2.

4.  Browse to the location of the driver file that you downloaded and do one of the 

following:

•  If the operating system that you’re using is a version of Windows, run the 

DisplayLink.exe

 file.

•  If the operating system that you’re using is a version of Mac OS, run the 

DisplayLink.dmg

 file.

Note:

 You might be asked to restart your computer to complete the installation.
