Connecting an External USB-C™ Device

The USB-C™ port mounted on this product supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 standards.

Use the USB-C™ port to connect USB devices or to output a screen to an external display.

Tip:

The names of USB versions have changed from USB 3.0 (or USB 3.1 Gen 1) and USB 3.1 (or USB 3.1 Gen 2) to USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 and USB 3.2 Gen 2x1.

Connecting a USB Device

If a USB device is connected to a USB-C™ port, the port works as an ordinary USB port.

Tip:

To use a conventional USB device, a separate conversion adapter should be used.

(Conversion adapters may be purchased separately.)

Outputting to an External Display

By connecting a display that supports USB-C™ Alternate Mode, you can use the USB-C™ port to output a screen to an external display.

Tip:

The Alternate mode allows you to use the DP (DisplayPort) and HDMI outputs through the USB-C™ port.

We support DP (DisplayPort) interface standards.

Caution:

You must use a cable that supports Alternate Mode to output a screen to another display.

If you use USB-C™ accessories (cables, interface adapters, etc.) that are used for other products, you may have compatibility problems (no screen output or a malfunction).
