Docking an HP notebook or desktop
computer
You can dock the computer to the monitor with a single USB Type-C connection. The USB Type-C port provides
network, data, video, and power delivery when you dock the device.
NOTE:
Make sure that the network cable is connected from the network source jack to the monitor’s
network jack for a network connection through USB Type-C.
The host computer must be able to support DisplayPort Alt Mode (video, charging, and USB 3.1) over the USB
Type-C connector and must also be compatible with USB Type-C, Thunderbolt-enabled ports.
Connecting two host computers to the docking monitor might result in system shutdown, loss of power, and
the need to turn off and restart the monitor.
For optimal performance, use the docking monitor with a computer running a Windows 10 version 1809 or
higher operating system.
To dock the computer, connect one end of a USB Type-C cable to the USB Type-C port on the rear of the
monitor and the other end to the USB Type-C port on the computer. This USB Type-C cable provides single-
cable connectivity for high-speed data, audio and video, and power delivery.
NOTE:
The monitor delivers up to 100 W of power over a USB Type-C connection.
NOTE:
When you set Auto-Switch Input to On in the OSD, the monitor automatically switches to USB-C
Video input if USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode is connected or active.
