There will be some other cables included in the monitor and computer boxes, like your laptop's travel power adapter, but we won't be using them for this setup. Keep the extra cables, but put them aside somewhere where they won't get lost.

By following these steps, you'll hook everything up so that your laptop is showing a picture on its own screen and the two monitors. Your hub monitor will also power the computer. If you're on-campus, and it will get power from or you're plugging your computer into a wired connection at home, the network cable will also send data to and from your laptop through the hub monitor.
