Monitor Setup
A guide to setting up new monitors.
The following is instructions for setting up new monitors and docking station. Feel free to use the A Guide To Monitor Connections Knowledge Base Article for images of the different ports on our monitors and docks.
- Unpack the Dock from the box. Included should be the docking station and one power cord.
- Unbox one Monitor at a time. Unpack all items and set any cords to the side for now.
- You should have a baseplate, a stand, and then the Monitor.
- The stand should slot on top of the base plate and you should see a thump screw on the bottom. Screw that into the stand securing the two pieces together. Then set it on the desk.
- Take the monitor and on the back, you should see a square that you can snap onto the stand. You will hear it click into place once it is secured.
- Included in the box were the following cords.
- 1 USB-B (square-ish looking plug) to USB-A (normal USB-looking plug). Plug the USB-B into the monitor and the USB-A into your docking station. (This plug powers the additional USB ports on the left side of your monitor.)
- 1- Display Port Plug. Plug one end into the monitor and the other end into the docking station.
- 1- Power cord- Plug one end into the monitor and one end into the power.
- Once the cords have been plugged into the docking station and power click the circular power button on the front bottom right of the monitor. Give it a moment and you should see a menu pop up asking for language settings. Use the four small buttons on the front bottom right of the monitor to confirm the settings.
- Once done with the first monitor repeat the steps for the second monitor.
- Once both monitors and the dock have been set up you can connect your laptop to the docking station and plug in any mouse or keyboard that you have to your docking station as well.
