Thunderbolt™ 3 Port/
USB 3.1 Type C Port
This unified Thunderbolt 3 port/ USB 3.1 port allows for the connection of external peripherals to
the computer by combining PCI Express (PCIe), DisplayPort (DP), USB 3.1 and its own
Thunderbolt 3 technologies. Up to seven peripherals may be supported by one connector by
daisy-chaining the devices. Devices supported include HDDs/SSDs, Audio Interfaces, docks,
display devices, cameras, network cables etc.
Thunderbolt 3 supports high speed connections, and much higher video bandwidth than any
other cable, while still supplying power. Thunderbolt 3 also supports dual 4K monitor support over
a single cable, as well as high speed Ethernet networking. USB 3.1 supplies power across USB
for both notebook charging and bus-powered devices.
Install the driver as instructed in “Thunderbolt Port” on page 4 - 7. This will install the
Thunderbolt software to your computer, and this can be accessed by clicking or double-clicking
the icon in the Start screen, Desktop app or notification area of the taskbar.
You will need to enable Thunderbolt support in the BIOS “Intel(R) Thunderbolt Technology
(Advanced Menu > Intel(R) Thunderbolt)” on page 5 - 10. You can also set the level of security
for the Thunderbolt port in the BIOS.
