How to install Plugable 13-in-1 USB-C Triple Monitor Docking Station
Follow these straightforward steps to set up your docking station and unleash a triple-monitor workspace, optimized for productivity and minimal downtime.
Step 1: Place the dock on your desk in a comfortable location with access to power and monitor cables. Ensure there is adequate clearance for the ports and that ventilation is not restricted by other equipment. A tidy arrangement will help you maintain an organized workspace and easier cable management.
Step 2: Connect your external displays to the docking station using the appropriate cables. Use HDMI cables for the HDMI ports and DisplayPort cables for the DisplayPort connection if your monitor supports it. Decide on your preferred display layout (extend, mirror, or a combination) based on your workflow and the tasks you regularly perform.
Step 3: Connect your laptop or device to the dock using a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 cable. The upstream connection is the bridge between your computer and the dock’s expanded ecosystem. If your device supports USB-C Power Delivery, you can leverage the dock’s 100W charging to keep your system powered during operation.
Step 4: Attach any USB peripherals and network connections. Plug your keyboard, mouse, external hard drive, printers, or other USB devices into the dock’s USB ports. If you rely on a wired network, connect an Ethernet cable to the dock for a stable, fast connection ideal for video conferences and large transfers.
Step 5: Connect the power supply to the docking station and plug it into a mains outlet. This step activates the docking station’s power delivery and ensures all connected devices receive sufficient power. After powering up, turn on your connected laptop or device, and the OS should recognize the dock and the attached displays automatically in most cases.
Step 6: Configure display settings in your operating system. On Windows, head to Display Settings to arrange screens, choose extend or duplicate modes, and set preferred resolutions. On macOS, use System Preferences > Displays to arrange displays and set Scaled resolutions. Chrome OS users can adjust display options via the ChromeOS display settings. If any display is not detected, re-seat cables, check the upstream connection, or update your device to the latest OS version and firmware.
Step 7: Personalize your workspace. Bind frequently used peripherals to quick-access ports, assign different duty cycles for each display, and optimize font sizes and workspace density to maximize readability and reduce eye strain. With triple monitors, you can dedicate one screen to communications, another to development, and a third to reference materials, dashboards, or media, creating a seamless, efficient workflow.
