This document is here to help you set up a USB-C hub monitor with your Business Office computer and second monitor.
For this setup, you'll use
- One laptop
- One hub monitor (model number U2722DE)
- One regular monitor (model number U2722DE)
- Two power cables
- One Display Port cable (also called a DP cable)
- One USB-C cable
- One network cable (also called a Ethernet cable)
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.
Here are some reference pictures of the various cables. The cables you have may look a little different, but the connectors should all be shaped the same. This means they can only fit into certain ports on your devices, which makes assembly a lot easier.

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, 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.
