Setting up the docking station

Step 1: Connecting to AC power
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.
If provided with a 3-pin attachment plug on the power cord, plug the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin outlet. Do not disable the power cord grounding pin, for example, by attaching a 2-pin adapter. The grounding pin is an important safety feature.
To ensure the correct performance of all docking station features, connect the docking station to an AC power source using the docking station power cord.

  1. Connect one end of the power cord to the AC adapter (1), and connect the other end of the power cord to an AC outlet (2).
  2. Connect the AC adapter to the power connector (3) on the docking station.

Updating the software
This section describes how to update the docking station software on a computer running the Windows® 10 operating system.

  1. With the computer on, Windows running, and the Internet connected, connect the docking station to the computer.
  2. Go to http://www.hp.com/support and follow the on-screen instructions to get software and drivers.

Using an external monitor
Configuring the monitor
Use Windows to configure the display of a monitor attached to the docking station.

  1. Select Start, select Settings, and then select System.
  2. To view the screen image on the monitor only, select Show desktop only on 2.
    – or –
    To view the screen image extended across both the computer and the monitor, select Extend these displays.
    – or –
    To view the screen image simultaneously on both the computer and the monitor, select Duplicate these displays.

You can also access the following display settings by pressing the Windows key+p:

  • To view the screen image on the monitor only, select Second screen only.
  • To view the screen image extended across both the computer and the monitor, select Extend.
  • To view the screen image simultaneously on both the computer and the monitor, select Duplicate.

For more information about using multiple monitors, see the “Display Capabilities” section of the HP Thunderbolt Dock G2 Features and Troubleshooting white paper. Go to http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA7-3384ENW.pdf.
Monitors cannot be simultaneously connected to the VGA port and either the USB Type-C SuperSpeed port and DisplayPort or the USB Type-C Thunderbolt port.
If a monitor is connected to your computer HDMI or USB Type-C port, the number of monitors you can connect to the docking station might be fewer than four.
Depending on your screen resolution, the number of monitors you can connect to the docking station might be fewer than four.
Sleep, Hibernation, shutdown, and restart
If the computer initiates Sleep or Hibernation, the monitor turns off. When the computer exits Sleep or Hibernation, the connected monitor returns to the previous monitor settings.
If you restart or shut down the computer and then turn it back on, the connected monitor returns to the previous monitor settings.

Using the docking station

Docking station guidelines

  • Operating systems— For optimal performance, use the docking station with a computer running the Windows 10 operating system.

  • Power— To use docking station features, AC power must be connected to the docking station.

  • Connecting and disconnecting— The docking station can be connected to or disconnected from the computer whether the computer is on or off. (See Step 2: Connecting to a computer on page 7 and Disconnecting the docking station on page 19.)
    NOTE: HP does not recommend connecting or disconnecting from a computer that is in either Sleep or Hibernation.

  • External devices— When the docking station is connected to the computer, external devices can be connected to the ports on the docking station or to the ports on the computer.

  • Advanced speed and features— To use all docking station features, your computer and monitor must support Thunderbolt, USB SuperSpeed, and DisplayPort 1.3. But even if your devices do not support these technologies, you can still use the four USB SuperSpeed ports with USB 2.0 devices and the four DisplayPort-compatible ports with DisplayPort 1.2 devices.

Setting the security level
The docking station supports Direct Memory Access (DMA), a feature that requires a specific Thunderbolt Security Level.
NOTE: Check with your IT administrator before you attempt the following procedure.
To configure this setting:

  1. On computers or tablets with keyboards, turn on or restart the computer, and when the HP logo appears, press f10 to enter Computer Setup.
    – or –
    On tablets without keyboards, turn off the tablet. Press the power button in combination with the volume down button until the Startup menu is displayed, and then tap F10 to enter Computer Setup.

  2. Select Advanced, select Port Options, and then select Thunderbolt Security Level.

  3. Select a security level.

The following security levels are available:

  • Security level 0: PCIe and DisplayPort – No Security—Any devices can be connected to the computer or docking station without user permission.
  • Security level 1: PCIe and DisplayPort – User Authorization—Any devices can be connected to the computer or docking station with user permission.
  • Security level 2: PCIe and DisplayPort – Secure Connect—Any devices can be connected to the computer or docking station with user permission, if the device contains either a security certificate or chip.
  • Security level 3: DisplayPort and USB— Devices cannot be connected to the docking station. Only the USB ports and Display Ports on the computer function.
  • Security level 4

NOTE: Security level 4 is supported only on select fifth-generation HP mobile workstations. If you set a computer that does not support Security level 4 to this level, the computer defaults to Security level 3.
Connecting to a network
You can connect the computer to a network through the docking station. This requires an Ethernet cable (purchased separately).
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a modem cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack.
The dock supports the following computer functions over the network connection:
NOTE: Before using these functions, verify that your computer has the latest BIOS and network controller driver installed. For instructions on updating these drivers, see your computer documentation.

  • PXE boot

  • MAC Address Pass Through
    TIP: Your computer might support MAC Address Pass Through from the On, Off, Sleep, or Hibernation states, or only when the computer is on or in the Sleep state.
    MAC Address Pass Through supports either UEFI PXE boot and Legacy PXE boot or only UEFI PXE boot.

  • Wake on LAN (WOL)
    TIP: Your computer might support WOL from the Off, Sleep, or Hibernation states, or only when the computer is on or in Sleep.
    WLAN-LAN switching is supported only on select computers running the Windows 10 operating system.
    1. Connect the docking station to the computer.
    2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 (network) jack on the docking station and connect the other end to an RJ-45 wall jack or router.
    NOTE: If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry, which prevents interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.
