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.
