latest drivers for your device and updated BIOS.

Mac OS X: Installation of the drivers in Mac OS X is automatic. Before installation make sure that

CONNECTING A MONITOR

1. The docking station is equipped with HDMI 4K Ultra HD output for the connection of an external

monitor or beamer with a HDMI interface. For displaying your images you can use a modern

plazma or LCD monitors and TVs. The graphic chip supports up to 4K resolution

4096x2160@60Hz. Connect the monitor to the docking station using a high-quality HDMI cable

(we recommend HDMI version 2.0 and higher). During installation of an additional monitor the

screen of the notebook can flicker which is a standard condition.

3. Two monitors connected simultaneously support up to 4K resolution 4096x2160@60Hz each.

Video output format and frame rate may be limited by host capabilities.

internet, it supports speeds of 10 / 100 / 1000 Mbps.

CONNECTING USB DEVICES

1. You can use USB 3.0 ports for connecting your keyboard, mouse, external hard drive, printer and

other devices or you can use it for connecting a USB HUB, which will give you more free USB ports.

Thunderbolt™ 3 port.

CHARGING

The docking station supports charging of USB mobile devices, such as smart phones, e-book

readers, multimedia players, navigation devices, and tablets. Simply connect the device that you

want to charge using the original cable to the USB port of the docking station. The port on the front

panel of the docking station is the most appropriate, because it supports fast charging

(specification BC 1.2).

“parent” device. One of Thunderbolt™ ports supports Power Delivery with the profile 4, max. 60W,
