About USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1  
USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1. This connectivity standard offers speeds up to 5  
Gbps.  
About installation  
Depending on the version of operating system that you’re currently running and  
whether your network connection is active, the docking station might install  
automatically or download the proper drivers when the dock is connected to an  
available USB port on the host system.  
If you receive a prompt to automatically install the driver, complete the on-screen  
instructions to complete the installation.  
Install the driver  
USB3DOCKH2DP.  
2. Click the Support tab.  
3. Click the driver file and complete the on-screen instructions to download the file.  
4. Browse to the location of the driver file that you downloaded and do one of the  
following:  
If the operating system that you’re using is a version of Windows, run the  
DisplayLink “exe” install file.  
If the operating system that you’re using is a version of Mac OS, run the  
DisplayLink “dmg” install file.  
5. Follow any on-screen instructions to complete the driver installation process.  
Note: You may be asked to restart your host laptop(s) to complete the installation.  
Install the hardware  
1. Select the appropriate regional clip for your region and connect the power adapter  
to an AC electrical outlet.  
2. Connect the power adapter to the DC input on the docking station.  
3. Attach the provided USB 3.0 cable to the USB 3.0 port on the docking station and  
then to an available USB 3.0 port on the host laptop.  
5. Connect your DisplayPort and/or HDMI displays to the corresponding ports on the  
docking station.  
6. As necessary, connect any other devices to the docking station, including an RJ45

About the docking station ports  
The four USB ports located at the back of the docking station are standard USB 3.0  
throughput ports. When the docking station is connected to a host laptop, these ports  
provide a trickle charge to a selection of devices.  
The side USB 3.0 port is compliant with Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2 (BC  
1.2), which means that you can use the port to connect and charge a device faster than  
a traditional standard USB 3.0 port.  
This side USB 3.0 port can fast-charge a connected device, even when the docking  
station isn’t connected to a host laptop. When the docking station is connected to a  
host laptop, the side USB 3.0 port functions as a Charging Downstream Port (CDP),  
which has simultaneous charge and sync capabilities.  
Charge a device  
If you’re only using the side USB 3.0 port to charge a device, a connection to a host  
laptop isn’t required.  
To charge a device, connect a device to the USB 3.0 port located on the side of the  
docking station.  
Note: The side USB 3.0 port can only fast-charge connected devices that comply to  
USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2.  
Charge an iPad with a 30-pin dock connector  
The following steps only apply to an iPad with a 30-pin connector. An iPad that uses  
a Lightning connector can be charged using the USB port located on the side of the  
docking station.  
1. Make sure that the host laptops are not connected to the docking station.  
2. Connect the iPad to the USB 3.0 port located on the side of the docking station.  
Note: If you connect a host laptop to the docking station while you’re charging a first-  
generation iPad, the iPad will switch to data sync mode and stop charging. To switch  
back to charging mode, disconnect the host laptop and the iPad from the docking  
station. Then connect the iPad to the docking station again.  
Configure a display device  
Use DisplayLink to configure a display device  
1. Connect a display device (monitor, projector, and so on) to the docking station.  
2. If necessary, to display all of the available icons, click the Show hidden icons arrow  
Instruction Manual  
4
 
on the toolbar.  
3. Click the DisplayLink icon.  
4. Click StarTech USB3DOCKH2DP.  
5. In the drop-down list, click a configurable option.  
Each display is configured independently from all of the connected displays.  
Note: If you’re using a computer that’s running Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can also  
adjust a display device on the Display Settings screen.  
About the display options  
The following information describes the display configurations available using the  
DisplayLink utility.  
Extend  
Select this option to display an extension of your active Windows desktop on the  
display that’s connected to the docking station. When you select this option, you can  
view more applications or documents at the same time. The display is extended in the  
direction it was the last time that the display was in Extend mode.  
For more control, click Extend To and select one of the options. This puts the display  
into Extend mode, and places the display to the right or left, above, or below the  
primary display.  
Mirror  
Select this option to display a duplication of the primary display on the display that’s  
connected to the docking station. The resolution, color depth, and refresh rate of the  
primary display are replicated on the connected display.  
Note: When the connected monitor uses a different specification than the primary  
display, the system’s primary graphics adapter scales all of the settings to a lower  
specification to maintain a uniform aspect ratio.  
Extend To  
Select this option to specify the physical location of the display that’s connected to the  
docking station in relation to the system’s primary monitor.  
Screen Resolution  
Select this option to change the resolution on the display that’s connected to the  
docking station.  
Screen Rotation  
Select this option to change the orientation in which the screen is viewed. The two  
most common orientation types are portrait and landscape.

Set as Main Monitor  
Select this option to specify the display that’s connected to the docking station as the  
primary display. The primary display shows all of the system notifications, and takes  
priority with applications.  
Off  
Select this option to disable the display that’s connected to the docking station.  
Use Mac OS to configure a display device  
If you’re using a computer that’s running a version of Mac OS, you can adjust a display  
device in the Displays section of the Mac System Preferences menu.  
Use Mac OS to change the display mode  
By default, the docking station will be set up as an extended display.  
Do one of the following:  
To change the display to Mirror mode, on the Arrangement screen on a  
display, select the Mirror Display check box.  
To change the display to Extend mode, on the Arrangement screen on a  
display, clear the Mirror Display check box.  
To use Extended and Mirror modes simultaneously, clear the Mirror Display  
check box. On the Arrangement screen, press and hold Cmd + Alt, and then  
drag and drop the display that you want to mirror over the primary display  
(indicated with a white bar). Repeat this step for all of the displays that you  
want to mirror.  
Use Mac OS to change the primary display  
Changing the primary display affects where new windows appear.  
To change which of the connected displays is the primary display, on the current  
primary display, click the white menu bar and drag it to the display that you wish to  
make the primary one.
