TROUBLESHOOTING
My Computer Will Not Recognize My Docking Station:
- Make sure the USB cable is properly connected to your docking station and computer.
- Try connecting the docking station to a different USB port on your computer or laptop. It may take up to 60 seconds for the computer to recognize the docking station.
- Make sure you have the most recent updates for your operating system.
- Make sure your power outlet is working.
- Plug your USB device directly into a USB port on your computer (if plugged into a USB hub).
- If your computer still does not recognize the device, please contact Sabrent support.
Connection Is Slow:
Make sure the docking station is connected directly to a USB 3.2 port on your
computer. Do not use a USB hub. While the docking station is backward
compatible, when connected to a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port, the docking station will
operate at much slower speed.
Power Issues:
Try the power adapter on a different power outlet. Make sure that the power
adapter is securely connected to the docking station.
Docking Station Disconnects From Computer:
Make sure the USB cable is securely connected to your docking station and
computer. Connect the power adapter to the docking station and a working power
outlet. Try connecting the docking station to a different USB port on your
computer. Check your computer’s sleep or standby settings.
