Docking Station
The Docking Station lets you quickly connect Surface Pro to all your desktop PC peripherals in a single step.
While your Surface Pro is docked, it charges Surface and powers your connected PC peripherals.
Here’s how to set up the Docking Station:
1. Position the Docking Station on your desk.
2. Connect the power cord to the Docking Station (see picture) and plug the other end into an electrical
outlet or power strip.
3. If you want to use a wired network connection while Surface is docked, connect a network cable to the
Ethernet port on the back of the Docking Station.
4. Connect your computer peripherals to the USB and audio ports on the Docking Station (see picture).
5. Connect a cable from your monitor to the Mini DisplayPort on the Docking Station. (If your monitor
cable doesn’t have a Mini DisplayPort connector, you’ll need to buy a Mini DisplayPort cable or adapter.)
6. Place Surface Pro in the Docking Station.
