Ports

The USB ports are for attaching devices to the
„
Mesa 2 such as a mouse, keyboard, or external
storage device.
The HDMI port is for connecting a video monitor
„
to the Mesa 2, giving you a second monitor.
The ethernet port is used for networking (an
„
ethernet cable is not included).
HDMI Port
Some early Mesa 2 models require the use of a USB
to HDMI dongle in order to use the HDMI feature.
The HDMI port on the dock can be used if the
Mesa 2 has three rows of docking pin contacts.
A dongle is required for HDMI if the Mesa 2 has two
rows of docking pin contacts.
Plug the USB connector on the dongle into a USB
port on the dock, then plug the HDMI cable into
the dongle. (Some dock models come with a
dongle. They are also sold separately.)

How to Use the Dock

1. Provide power to the dock using the 20 W AC
wall charger provided with your Mesa 2 (the
ports require external power). A 45 W charger
is available as an option. We recommend this
charger if you are using the dock as an office
computer with several peripheral functions.
There might not be enough power to charge
the batteries and run the Mesa 2.
2. Plug in the cables for your desired setup.
3. If a hand strap is covering the pin contacts on
the Mesa 2, unhook one end or remove it.
4. Hold the Mesa 2 horizontally with the docking
pin contacts facing down. Place it over the
dock alignment pins and press down until you
feel and hear the lock engage.
5. Some devices require drivers. If prompted,
follow the instructions on the screen and wait
for drivers to install. If you have a model of the
dock that uses a USB to HDMI dongle, you may
need to download and install a driver for the
dongle. The newest version of the driver can be
found here:

provided with some dongles.
6. The Mesa 2 charges more quickly if the power
settings are set up to allow the Mesa 2 to enter
a low power mode when it is not in use, but is
plugged in. To adjust this setting, go to the Start
menu, then Settings > System > Power & sleep.
7. To remove the Mesa 2 from the dock, press on
the release button and pull the Mesa 2 up.

Adding a Video Monitor

To connect to a video monitor to the Mesa 2, plug
the device into the HDMI port (directly or through a
USB to HDMI dongle). Go to the Action Center and
select Project, then Extend or the option that you
prefer. You can have the start bar appear on either
one or both displays, or set the external monitor
to be the main display. This can be helpful in an
office environment. To set up additional features
like orientation, go to the Start menu, then Settings
> System > Display.

Mounting the Dock to a Surface

The Office Docking Station is freestanding. It can
be mounted to a surface like a desk or shelf. There
are keyhole slots on the bottom for this purpose.
The spacing between the holes is 4" (101.5 mm).
