This  This document is here to help you set up a USB-C hub monitor with your Business Office computer and second monitor.

...

• First, put the base plate into the bottom of the monitor arm. There's a plug that goes into the socket on the bottom of the monitor arm. It should slide together easily.

• Once the monitor arm and base plate are together, you'll need to fasten them so they don't come apart. There's a fold-out tab on a screw on the bottom of the base plate. Gently turn the screw clockwise to fasten the two parts. You can stop turning once it starts to resist - it doesn't have to be cinched in tight.

• Your base plate and monitor arm should now be locked together. We call this new assembly the monitor stand. Next, you'll attach the monitor stand to the monitor itself for both screens.

• There should be two prongs on the top of your monitor stand. Those go into the holes in the back of the monitor panels, and the whole thing should swing closed and lock in place with a click. You shouldn't need to use much force - if it feels like you're having to push hard to get it to close, disconnect the stand from the monitor and make sure there's nothing trapped in between the parts.

Step 2

Now that you've assembled your monitors, we'll need to get them plugged in.

...

You can rotate the monitor arm out of the way if it's easier for you to access the ports.

• Plug the power cable into the port labeled A. The side with the metal prongs goes into your wall socket, while the plastic side goes into the port on the monitor.
• Plug the USB-C cable into the port labeled B. The other end will attach to your laptop once we're done. Either end of the cable can go in either device.
• Plug the Display Port cable into the port labeled C.  Earlier, you took the orange plug out of this port. You don't need to connect it to the second monitor just yet. Either end of the cable can go in either device.
• If you have an Ethernet or network cable, plug it into the port labeled D. The other end of the cable will go into a network port in your wall, or a wired network router if you use one. If you're using wifi, you don't need to worry about the network cable.

Next, we're going to connect your secondary monitor. Here's what its ports look like.

• Just like with your other monitor, plug the power cable into the port labeled A. The other end of the power cable will plug into your wall.
• The other end of the Display Port cable from your hub monitor will plug into the port labeled B.

Step 3

Now you'll need to connect everything together and make sure it's working.

Here's what the monitors will look like once they're wired up.

• The power cables will both plug into your wall.
• The USB-C cable will plug into your laptop.
• The Display Port cable will connect both your monitors. You shouldn't have to do anything with it at this point.
• The network cable will plug into a network jack on campus, or a wired Ethernet device at home, if you have one.

If your monitors aren't turned on, you won't get a picture and they won't power your laptop. Please keep that in mind.

Once you turn your monitors and laptop on, you may need to rearrange the display order, depending on how you've physically arranged your devices. You can do so by rearranging your displays in the Settings menu. There's a step-by-step guide from Microsoft on how to identify and arrange your displays here.
