Installation

Installation Notes

• After all devices are connected to the unit, be sure the power 

adapter is properly connected and the power button is turned on.

• Connect the host computer or laptop to the U442-DOCK8-B’s 

USB-C PD Charging port using the included USB-C cable. This 

cable will charge and power the host device.

• Screenshots may vary based on operating system.
• The computer or laptop will keep your previous display settings 

every time you power on/off.

• Check your computer or laptop’s display settings and set up in 

Extend Mode for normal installation.

• If you change monitors, you may need to reset the display 

settings.

• Some 4K monitors will occupy the entire 4K bandwidth and 

cause the third connected display to function incorrectly.

• If your system runs Mac OS, external monitors connected will 

only support Mirror Mode (all displays will have the same output).

• If your system is a Windows system and supports MST Mode, 

refer to below MST installation notes.
