Computer manual

USB Type-C™ ≠ USB Type-C™

Important!
This ICY BOX product requires the usage of DisplayPort™ Alt Mode technology over the USB Type-C™ connector. Not all computers, notebooks or tablets with a USB Type-C™ interface support the DisplayPort™ Alt Mode.

Please check the specifications of your computer system as well as its USB Type-C™ interface or use the ICY BOX product with a Thunderbolt™ 3 connector.

Starting up

1. Plug in the power supply.

2. Connect the USB Type-C® plug of the supplied data cable to the host Type-C® interface of the DockingStation.

3. Connect the other end of the USB Type-C® data cable to a supported computer (at least USB 3.2 Gen 1).

4. Now switch on the unit and the power LED lights up white.

Note!
When using the device on a computer without Power Delivery support via a USB Type-C® port, please note the following:

In this case the Type-C® host interface does in no way support Power Delivery which is a prerequisite for the PD charging option. This means the DockingStation cannot be used to charge the computer.

To use this dock to its full potential, ensure that the USB Type-C® host port of your computer supports USB4®, DP Alt Mode and USB Power Delivery.

To be certain, please check whether the host PC Bios Version is the latest and confirm compatibility with USB Type-C® Power Delivery and USB4® before application. Please consult your host PC documentation or contact the PC manufacturer to confirm compatibility with these technologies.

5. Connect your peripheral devices to the appropriate interfaces of the dock.

Use of memory card slot
