Introduction
The Dell Thunderbolt Dock TB16 is a device that links all your electronic devices to your laptop computer using Thunderbolt 3 (Type-C) 
cable interface. When you connect the laptop to the docking station, you can gain access to all your peripherals such as the mouse, 
keyboard, stereo speakers, external hard drive, and large-screen displays without having to plug each one into the laptop.
CAUTION: You must update your computer’s BIOS and the Dell Docking Station drivers to the latest versions available at 
www.dell.com/support before using the docking station. Older BIOS versions and drivers could result in the docking station not 
being recognized by your computer or not functioning optimally. Please see the Important Information chapter for detailed 
instructions on how to update your BIOS, Graphics, and Thunderbolt drivers/firmware as well as other associated drivers before 
using the Dell Thunderbolt Dock TB16.
