• Host computer with an available USB Type-C ^ port (to ensure full dock functionality, the host USB Type-C ^ port must support USB Power Delivery and DisplayPort ^TM Alt Mode or Thunderbolt ^® 3)
• Any of the following operating systems: Windows ^® 10, macOS ^®

Note: The DockingStation can still connect to a host computer with a USB Type-® port that does not support Power Delivery (but must still support DisplayPort™ Alt Mode). In this configuration, the DockingStation will not provide power to your host notebook.

USB Type-C®

Not all USB Type-C® ports support the full functionality of the USB Type-C® standard. Some ports might only provide data transfers, and might not support video or Power Delivery over USB.

USB Type-C™ ≠ USB Type-C™

Important!

This ICY BOX product requires the usage of DisplayPort™ Alt Mode technology over the USB Type-C™ connector. Not all computers, notebooks or tablets with a USB Type-C™ interface support the DisplayPort™ Alt Mode.

Please check the specifications of your computer system as well as its USB Type-CTM interface or use the ICY RCX product with a Thunderbolt™ 3 connector.

To use this dock to its full potential, ensure that the host USB Type-C® port from your computer supports DisplayPort® Alt Mode, as well as USB Power Delivery or Thunderbolt® 3. Note! The USB Type-C® port on the DockingStation supports only Power Delivery (no data transfer).
