Driver Installation

Before the first connection of the Smart Dock USB 3.0 to your notebook/tablet/PC, make sure that you have the most recent
drivers installed. The latest drivers and some additional information can be downloaded from
www.dicota.com/smart-dock.
Note:
The system will automatically install the audio ports, reader and the USB HUB (for USB 3.0/2.0 ports type A).The drivers for
the LAN and DVI-I/HDMI port need to be downloaded and installed before the first connection.
Products with the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed technology have been used since 2010; however, the drivers for the supported
equipment are still undergoing some fine tuning. Your notebook/tablet/PC needs to be equipped with a USB 3.0 interface in
order to utilize the advantages of the fast USB 3.0 equipment. Its problem free function is ensured by the chipset which needs
to have the current drivers available.
Problems that you can encounter during installation or use of our USB 3.0 equipment are very often caused by outdated
drivers for the USB 3.0 controller or chipset of your notebook/tablet/PC. Other problems can be caused by outdated
firmware of the USB 3.0 port controller. Most frequently those problems appear with one of the following manufacturers:
Intel, Renesas (former NEC), Via (VLI), AS Media, Fresco Logic and Etron.
