Full details

The primary caveat is that it is strictly compatible with a specific range of older HP EliteBook and ZBook models, meaning it will not work with modern USB-C only laptops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your dock, ensure the power adapter is connected to the docking station before attaching your laptop. Ensure your laptop is compatible by verifying it is one of the supported models, such as the HP EliteBook 820, 840, or 850 G1, or the ZBook 14. Align the laptop with the docking connector on the side of the unit and press down firmly until you hear a click. To maintain the device, keep the docking connector free of dust and debris by gently blowing it out with compressed air occasionally. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the dock when the laptop is not present to protect the connector pins.
