Installation

Powering the multiport adapter

Power the multiport adapter by using one of the following methods:

• Bus power: The multiport adapter is powered by your host laptop's USB-C port and does not require a separate power adapter.
• USB-C power adapter (Recommended): Connect the USB-C connector on the host laptop's power adapter to the multiport adapter's USB-C port. The power adapter will power the multiport adapter and pass power through to the host laptop.

Note: Some laptops may have specific charging requirements. If a laptop requires 60W of power and an adapter connected to the laptop consumes a portion of the power requirement, the power supplied to the laptop will be reduce by the amount of power supplied to the adapter. The laptop may not recognize the loss in power and may cause a disruption in charging. For more information about Power Delivery, refer to the manufacturer of your hardware.
