How to install SIIG 8K 1x4 DisplayPort 1.4 MST Hub Splitter

• Power off the computer and displays before making connections to prevent any dynamic changes during setup.
• Connect one DisplayPort 1.4 cable from your PC’s DisplayPort output to the hub’s single upstream DisplayPort input.
• Attach four DisplayPort cables from the hub’s four DP outputs to the corresponding DisplayPort inputs on each monitor.
• Power on the displays and boot the Windows PC. The system should recognize the monitors automatically; if necessary, open Display Settings to arrange and configure the displays (extend, mirror, or custom layout).
• For optimal results, ensure your GPU drivers are up to date and confirm that your monitors and cables support the desired resolutions and refresh rates. If you plan an 8K configuration, verify that the GPU, cables, and displays all support DP 1.4 MST at the intended resolution and refresh rate.
