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.

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.
