• USB-C 3.2 (10Gbps) & USB-A 3.2 (10Gbps): Connect high-speed peripherals such as external hard drives, SSDs, or other data-intensive devices for rapid file 轉移。
• USB-A 2.0 (480Mbps): Ideal for connecting standard peripherals like keyboards, mice, printers, or USB flash drives.
• Micro/SD Card Readers (104 Mbps): Insert SD or MicroSD cards for quick access to photos and videos. Ensure the SD card is inserted with the label side down and the MicroSD card with the label side up.
• 3.5毫米音訊/麥克風插孔： Connect headphones, speakers, or a microphone for audio input/output.

維護

• Keep the dock clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
• 避免將設備暴露在液體或極端溫度下。
• Ensure proper ventilation around the dock and Mac mini to maintain effective heat dissipation.

故障排除

• SSD 無法辨識： Ensure the SSD is correctly installed and secured. For new SSDs, verify it has been formatted to "exFat" or "APFS" on your Mac mini. Confirm the SSD is an NVMe (B+M Key/M Key) type, as SATA SSDs are not supported.
• 週邊裝置無法正常運作： Check that the USB cable connecting the dock to the Mac mini is securely attached. Try connecting the peripheral directly to the Mac mini to rule out device issues.
• 資料傳輸速度慢： Ensure you are using the 10Gbps USB-C or USB-A 3.2 ports for high-speed devices. Older USB 2.0 devices will operate at their maximum speed of 480Mbps.
• Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Interference: The vertical design is intended to reduce negative effects on wireless reception. If issues occur, ensure no other devices are causing interference and that the Mac mini is properly seated.
