Installation
Prior to installation, ensure your graphics driver is up to date by
installing the latest driver available. The MST hub is backward
compatible with most DisplayPort 1.1a equipment running
current graphics drivers. The feature set is limited to the
attached equipment’s capabilities (e.g., you may be limited to
displaying in Clone / Mirror mode only). Compatibility with older
graphics cards is not guaranteed.
Make sure the power to all connected devices is turned o
prior to installation.
1. Connect the hub’s built-in cable to the computer’s
DisplayPort output.
2. Connect the included external power supply to the hub
and plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) or Power Distribution Unit (PDU).
The Power LED will illuminate green.
3. Connect a monitor to an available output port on the hub.
Note: The maximum distance between the hub and the connected
monitor must not exceed 15 ft. (4.6 m).
4. Repeat step 4 for each additional monitor you are connecting.
5. Turn ON the power to the connected monitors, then power
on the source. The port LEDs will illuminate orange to
indicate a signal is being received and video will appear
on the connected monitors.
6. Use your video card’s display settings screen to adjust how
video is displayed on the connected monitors.

Troubleshooting
If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the
installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below.
1. Is your equipment running the latest graphics driver?
If not, download the latest graphics drivers for your equipment.
The MST hub is backward compatible with most DisplayPort
1.1a equipment running current graphics drivers. The feature
set is limited to the attached equipment’s capabilities (e.g.,
you may be limited to displaying in Clone / Mirror mode only).
Compatibility with older graphics cards is not guaranteed.
2. Press the hub’s reset button to reset the signal being
sent to the connected displays.
3. Is the included external power supply connected and
plugged into a working power source? In order for the
product to function properly, it must be connected and
receiving power through the external power supply.
4. Was the power to the DisplayPort source and connected
monitors turned off prior to installation?
If not, restart your computer.
5. What cable lengths are you using? The maximum
cable length between the hub and the connected monitors
should not exceed 15 ft. (4.6 m).
6. What type of cabling are you using? Inferior cabling can
result in poor performance. It is important to use cables
that support the video resolution you are trying to obtain.
It is recommended you use the Tripp Lite cables listed in the
Optional Accessories section, as they have been tested to
work with the MST Hubs.

Troubleshooting
7. Test your cables to ensure they are working properly.
For example, connect your DisplayPort cables between a
source and monitor setup you know works to determine if
the cable is functioning properly.
