Frequently Asked Questions - IB-DK4029-CPD Raidsonic

What are the system requirements for the IB-DK4029-CPD?

You need a computer with a USB Type-C port that supports Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode, or a Thunderbolt 3 port. It works with Windows and macOS.

How do I set up the docking station?

Connect the USB Type-C cable to your powered computer, then connect your devices (monitors, USB peripherals, etc.) to the appropriate ports on the dock. For power delivery, connect an external power supply to the USB PD port if needed.

What video resolutions are supported?

In single display mode, up to 3840x2160@60 Hz (requires DP 1.4 HBR3 with DSC). In dual display mode, up to 3840x2160@60 Hz each with DP 1.4 HBR3 and DSC, or 1920x1080@60 Hz each with DP 1.2 HBR2.

Can I charge my laptop through the dock?

Yes, if your laptop supports USB Power Delivery. The dock can deliver up to 85W via the USB PD Type-C port, but you need to connect an external power supply (not included) to the dock.

Is this dock compatible with Thunderbolt 3?

Yes, the device is compatible with Thunderbolt 3 equipped computers. However, it still requires your host port to support USB Type-C DP Alt Mode and Power Delivery for full functionality.

How do I configure dual monitors?

On Windows, go to Display Settings and select Extend these displays. On macOS, go to System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement and drag the monitor icons. Ensure you select the correct resolution from the display settings.

Does the dock support HDMI 2.0?

The HDMI ports support up to 3840x2160@60 Hz with DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 and DSC. This effectively matches HDMI 2.0 bandwidth for 4K@60, but the interface itself is HDMI 1.4 or 2.0 depending on the signal.

How should I clean the docking station?

Disconnect the device from power and computer, then use a dry, anti-static cloth. Avoid aggressive cleaners or solvents that may damage the surface.

What should I do if data transfer is interrupted when connecting/disconnecting power?

Avoid plugging or unplugging the power supply during data transfers. The dock may briefly disconnect other interfaces. Always connect/disconnect power when no data transfer is active to prevent data loss.

Can I use the dock without an external power supply?

Yes, the dock can function without external power, but you will not get power delivery to the host. Connected devices may still work, but performance (especially video) might be limited. For full functionality, use the included power supply (if provided) or a compatible USB PD charger.
