Connecting to your Computer
The first thing you’ll want to do is power your Blackmagic MultiDock and connect to
your computer!
Plug your power source into Blackmagic MultiDock’s mains power input using a standard IEC
cable and connector. The power indicator on the front panel will illuminate when power
is supplied.
On Blackmagic MultiDock 10G, connect the USB-C A port to your computer via a USB-C cable.
The switch on the rear of the unit lets you configure Blackmagic MultiDock 10G as a single dock
using all four drives, or as two independent dual-drive docks. This means you can access two
drives from two separate computers via the two separate USB-C ports. Refer to the ‘Configuring
Blackmagic MultiDock 10G’ section for more information.
On the original Blackmagic MultiDock, connect one of the Thunderbolt ports to your computer’s
Thunderbolt port using a Thunderbolt cable. If your computer only has a single Thunderbolt
port, you can use the additional Thunderbolt port on your MultiDock to attach a RAID or
other device.
