Notes:
  • The Thunderbolt firmware in this dock can only be updated through a connected notebook. Ensure the dock cable is connected to the proper Thunderbolt Type-C port when updating dock firmware.
  • For the dock to perform at its full capability and allow the data transfer rates designed under the Thunderbolt™ 3 technology (up to 40Gbps), it must be used with a Thunderbolt™ 3 enabled system. When connected with a system it supports but which is not Thunderbolt™ 3 enabled (please refer to the list of supported systems), it can only work at speed permitted by the respective system. For example, if the dock is connected with a system which only supports USB3.1 Gen 2 connection but not Thunderbolt™ technology, the data transfer rate will be up to 10Gbps only.
  • Performance of the dock will vary depending on the specific hardware and software used and many other factors. The actual data transfer speed may be slower than designed under respective connection technologies like Thunderbolt™ 3 or USB3.1.
