Introduction
The Dell Dock with Monitor Stand DS1000 is a device that links all your electronic devices to your
computer using a USB Type-C cable interface. Connecting the computer to the docking station allows
you to access all peripherals (mouse, keyboard, stereo speakers, external hard drive, and large-screen
displays) without having to plug each one into the computer.
Important information
Update your computer’s BIOS and the Dell Dock with Monitor Stand DS1000 drivers to the latest versions
available at Dell.com/support before using the docking station. Older BIOS versions and drivers could
