Do I need a special cable to connect my older laptop?
For USB-C laptops, the included USB-C cable is sufficient. If you are trying to use this dock with a non-USB-C laptop or one that requires higher power (up to 90W) through legacy connections, you may need the optional ACC1134GLX Legacy Power Accessory Kit.

Troubleshooting
No video output to monitors.
Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the laptop and the dock. Verify that the laptop supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Check that the correct input is selected on the monitors. Try using different ports (HDMI vs. DisplayPort) or different cables.
Laptop not charging.
Confirm that the dock's power adapter is plugged in and the laptop's USB-C port supports Power Delivery. For legacy laptops requiring higher power, ensure the optional ACC1134GLX accessory is used. Try a different USB-C cable if one is swappable.
Slow data transfer speeds.
Ensure peripherals are connected to the appropriate USB ports (USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C for highest speeds). Verify that the connected device itself is capable of high-speed data transfer. Close unnecessary applications that might be consuming system resources.
Network connection is unstable or not working.
Check that the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the dock and the router/switch. Try a different Ethernet cable. Ensure network drivers are up to date on the laptop. Test the internet connection with a direct connection to the laptop.
