Connect the hub
1. Connect the USB-C connector on the hub to a USB-C port on your
laptop.
2. Connect your USB peripherals (for example, a ash drive) to the
USB-A ports on the hub.
The HB30C3APDW is natively supported and when you connect it to
your laptop, your laptop automatically detects the hub and installs
the required drivers.
Powering the hub
You can power the hub in the following ways:
• Bus power
• USB Power Delivery 2.0
If you use bus power to power the hub, it might not provide
sucient power to all of your connected peripherals. To make sure
that your connected devices are detected and functional, you should
use a USB-C power adapter (for example, your laptop USB-C power
adapter) to power the hub.
Connect a USB-C power adapter
To use a USB-C power adapter to provide power to the hub,
complete the following:
1. Make sure that the USB-C port on your laptop supports USB
Power Delivery 2.0.
2. Connect the USB-C input on the power adapter to the USB-C port
on the hub.
3. Connect the power adapter to an AC electrical outlet.
The HB30C3APDW supports USB Power Delivery 2.0 and will deliver

your laptop.
Troubleshooting
I can’t use the hub to charge my laptop
To use the hub to power and charge your laptop, make sure that the
USB-C port on your laptop supports USB Power Delivery 2.0.
Not all USB-C ports support the full functionality of the USB Type-C
standard. Some ports might only transfer data and some might not
support USB Power Delivery 2.0. If the USB-C port on your laptop
doesn’t support USB Power Delivery 2.0, then you can’t use the hub
to pass power through to your laptop.
I can’t transfer data using the USB-C port
The USB-C port on the hub only supports USB Power Delivery 2.0.
You can’t use the USB-C port as a throughput for data or video.
