When the dock is connected to your host laptop, a charging icon may appear on your laptop's screen. This is only sufficient enough to charge your laptop in sleep state, and charging will require an extended time period.5K support can only be achieved using a Thunderbolt 3 5K monitor. DisplayPort 5K monitors will not work with this expansion chassis.A 4K-capable display is required to achieve 4K x 2K resolution (4K is also known as 4K x 2K).Certain monitors may be limited to 4K at 30Hz when connecting through DisplayPort. These monitors include the following models: Dell P2715Q, Viewsonic VX2475Smhl-4K, Philips 288P6LJEB, LG 31MU97C-B, Asus PB287Q (these models will need to be set to 4K at 30Hz).When connecting a display to one of the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, a USB-C video adapter might be required depending on the input of your display.Secondary Thunderbolt 3 port can also be used to connect USB 3.1 (10Gbps) USB-Type C devices, such as USB 3.1 Hubs. Backwards compatible with USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1), and USB 2.0.Dimensions & WeightDimensions11.00" x 5.60" x 3.20"Weight3.60 lbs.Package ContentsPackage Contents1 x Thunderbolt 3 PCIe expansion box1 x Thunderbolt 3 cable4 x rubber feet1 x universal power adapter (NA/JP, UK, EU, ANZ)1 x PCI Express x4 to M.2 PCIe SSD Adapter1 x low-profile bracket1 x full-profile bracket (pre-installed)2 x quick-start guides1 x SSD standoff and installation screw
