Troubleshooting
Dock not recognized by computer
Ensure the Thunderbolt 4 cable is securely connected to both the dock and your computer. Try a different Thunderbolt 4 port on your computer. Verify the dock is powered on and the LED indicator is active. Restart your computer.
Slow data transfer speeds
Confirm you are using a Thunderbolt 4 connection for maximum speed. Ensure the connected modules (readers/SSDs) are capable of the expected speeds. Close unnecessary background applications that may be consuming system resources. Check for operating system and driver updates.
Modules not detected in bays
Remove the module and reinsert it firmly. Ensure the module is correctly oriented. Check for any physical damage to the module or the bay contacts. Try the module in a different bay.
Overheating or fan noise
Ensure the dock is placed on a flat, stable surface with adequate airflow around it. Do not obstruct the vents or the fan intake/exhaust. Clean any dust from the fan and vents using compressed air. If overheating persists, contact support.
Display issues (no signal, low resolution)
Verify your computer's graphics card and Thunderbolt 4 port support the desired display resolution (8K or dual 4K). Ensure the display is connected via the appropriate port and that your system's display drivers are up to date.
