Setup
Connecting to Host Devices
The U100 Ultra+ features two host USB-C inputs: USB-C(A) and USB-C(B). USB-C(A) is the main dock interface, controlling all ports except the right DisplayPort and HDMI ports. USB-C(B) controls only the right DisplayPort and HDMI ports. This dual-host design allows for flexible connectivity with multiple devices.
Power Connection
Connect a 100W Power Delivery (PD) adapter to the designated USB-C PD input port on the docking station. This powers the dock and provides pass-through charging to your connected laptop. A 5V/2A supplemental power port is also available for desktop computers, laptops that do not support PD, or when the laptop is already connected to other power sources. Note: PD power supply and supplemental power supply cannot be used simultaneously.

Monitor Connection
Connect your external monitors to the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs on the docking station. The dock supports up to 3 external monitors simultaneously. Ensure your computer's interface is DP1.4 to support external triple display for Windows systems. For Apple M1/M2 chip computers, only one external screen is supported; M1 Pro and M1 Max chips are not limited.

M.2 SSD Installation
The M.2 hard drive enclosure is tool-free. Simply remove the magnetic cover, insert your M.2 NVMe or M.2 SATA hard disk, secure it with the provided rubber piece, and replace the magnetic cover. The LED strip light will beat in Memory Mode when the hard disk writes or reads.

Operating Instructions
RGB LED Strip Light
The RGB LED strip light offers two main modes and sixteen rhythm modes with four levels of brightness adjustment. Use the dedicated buttons on the front panel to cycle through color/brightness and mode/power options. In Voice Control Mode, the lights respond to ambient sound. In Memory Mode, the lights pulse with M.2 hard disk activity.

Multi-Monitor Usage
The docking station supports both Mirror Mode (displaying the same content on all screens) and Extended Mode (extending your desktop across multiple screens). For Windows, triple display extension is supported. For Apple M1/M2 chip computers, only one external screen can be expanded. M1 Pro and M1 Max chips do not have this limitation.

Data Transfer
Utilize the 10Gbps USB 3.1 ports (both USB-C and USB-A) for high-speed data transmission with external devices. The 2.5G Gigabit Ethernet port provides a stable and faster network connection, automatically adapting to 10M/100M/1000Mbps/2500Mbps network transmission.

Maintenance
- Keep the docking station clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Ensure all cables are securely connected to prevent intermittent issues.
- Regularly check for firmware updates from the manufacturer's website for optimal performance and compatibility.
Troubleshooting

- Verify that your monitors are powered on and set to the correct input source.
- Check the display settings on your laptop to ensure external displays are detected and configured (Mirror Mode/Extended Mode).
- For Apple M1/M2 chips, remember the limitation of one external display.
Charging Issues
- Confirm that a 100W PD adapter is connected to the docking station's PD input.
- Ensure your laptop supports USB-C Power Delivery.
- If using the 5V/2A supplemental power, ensure the 100W PD input is not also connected.
Data Transfer Problems
- Verify that your external storage devices are properly connected to the 10Gbps USB 3.1 ports.
- Check the M.2 SSD installation to ensure it is correctly seated and recognized by your system.
- Ensure the USB-C cable connecting the dock to your host device supports data transfer.
