Setting up the Duo Dock

If you need to install a NuBus card inside the dock, do it before following the
steps below. See Chapter 3 in this guide for instructions.

1

Place the dock on a hard, flat surface.

While you set up, you’ll need access to the connectors on the back panel.

IMPORTANT

Don’t attempt to use the dock on its side, or in any position other

than those pictured. Don’t block the ventilation slots on the sides or bottom of
the dock.

2

Plug one end of the dock’s power cord into the power receptacle (

) on the back of the

dock, and the other end into an electrical outlet or power strip.

3

Put your monitor on top of the dock, and connect the monitor and power cables.

The Duo Dock can hold a monitor weighing up to 55 lb. The Duo Dock Plus
(or Duo Dock with the top cover upgrade) can hold a monitor weighing up
to 85 lb.

If you installed a monitor card in the dock, connect the monitor cable to the
card. Otherwise, connect the monitor cable to the dock’s monitor port
(marked with the icon ™). If you are connecting a VGA monitor, you need a
15-pin to 9-pin adapter.
