Introduction

The Dell Docking Station WD15 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.

CAUTION: Update your computer’s BIOS and the Dell Docking Station WD15 drivers to the latest versions available at www.dell.com/support BEFORE using the docking station. Older BIOS versions and drivers could result your computer not recognizing the docking station or not functioning optimally. Please see the Important Information chapter for detailed instructions on how to update your BIOS and graphics card drivers before using the Dell Docking Station WD15.
