Installation
Powering the multiport adapter
Power the multiport adapter by using one of the following methods:
Note: A Fast Role Swap function is available when using Power Delivery 3.0. This
function prevents USB data disruption when switching power sources (bus power to
USB-C power adapter or USB-C power adapter to bus power). For this function to work,
the host laptop must also support Power Delivery 3.0.
Bus power: The multiport adapter is powered by the host laptop’s USB-C port and
does not require a separate power adapter.
USB-C power adapter (Recommended): Connect the USB-C connector on the host
laptop’s power adapter to the USB-C port on the multiport adapter. The power adapter
will power the multiport adapter and pass power through to the host laptop.
Note: Some laptops may have specic charging requirements. If a laptop requires
60W of power and an adapter connected to the laptop consumes a portion of the
power requirement, the power supplied to the laptop will be reduced by the amount
of power supplied to the adapter. The laptop may not recognize the loss in power and
may cause a disruption in charging.. For more information about Power Delivery, refer
to the manufacturer of your hardware.
Connecting the multiport adapter using bus power
1. (OPTIONAL): Connect your peripherals to the multiport adapter (e.g., HDMI monitor,
USB device i.e. keyboard, or an RJ45 network device i.e. Ethernet).
Note: See Product Diagram (front view) for port location and identication.
2. Connect the USB-C host connector on the multiport adapter to a USB-C port on
your host laptop.
3. Depending on the host laptop’s operating system (see Requirements), the multiport
adapter will automatically detect and install the required driver.
Connecting the multiport adapter using a USB-C power adapter
1. (OPTIONAL): Connect your peripherals to the multiport adapter (e.g., HDMI monitor,
USB device i.e. keyboard, or an RJ45 network device i.e. Ethernet).
Note: See Product Diagram (front view) for port location and identication.
2. Connect the USB-C host connector on the multiport adapter to a USB-C port on the
host laptop.
3. Connect the USB-C connector on the host laptop’s power adapter to the USB-C port
on the multiport adapter.

Disconnecting a USB-C power adapter
1. Disconnect the multiport adapter’s USB-C host connector cable from the USB-C port
on the host laptop.
2. Disconnect the host laptop’s power adapter from the multiport adapter.
Note: If using Power Delivery 2.0, disconnecting the power adapter during operation
can also cause the multiport adapter to lose functionality.
3. (OPTIONAL) Disconnect the HDMI connector and any USB peripherals.
Warning (if using Power Delivery 2.0): Before disconnecting a USB-C power adapter
from the multiport adapter, ensure all data transfers are complete. If you disconnect
the power adapter while transferring les to, or from an attached storage device, the
transfer will stop. This may corrupt any les that you were attempting to transfer.
Installing the driver
If the required driver does not automatically install after connecting the multiport
adapter to the host laptop, complete the driver installation manually:
1. Connect the multiport adapter to the host laptop (see Powering the multiport
adapter), the Found New Hardware popup will appear.
2. On the Found New Hardware popup, click the Cancel button.
3. Using a web browser, enter www.startech.com/DKT30CHCPD in the address line.
