Operating Temperature
Due to the high performance of Thunderbolt technology, Thunderbolt products sometimes generate more heat than traditional hardware. Therefore, it's normal for the docking station to warm up when in use. As such, it's recommended that you don't place your laptop on the docking station's surface, as doing so will result in even higher temperatures.
These higher temperatures do not present a safety hazard to users or to hardware.
Installation
Powering the Docking Station
- Select the appropriate regional Power Cord and connect it to the Universal Power Adapter.
