FAQ
A: Although Windows has SMI InstantView Drivers natively installed in the Operating system they may need updating. When you plug in a Silicon Motion product and get no display then always update to the Latest Divers Here first. In 99% of cases, once these are updated your displays will work. If you are a MacOS user then refer to the section of the User Manual that explains how to install the SMI InstantView software. The SMI InstantView software has to be running on MacOS for this product to work. If these steps do not solve your problem then please contact Comsol support on Live Chat or here and one of our team will give you further assistance
Q: I've been using the adapter for a few hours and it feels quite hot to touch, is that normal?
A: This is completely normal, there is a lot going on inside your product with several Integrated Chipsets providing displays, data and power to your laptop. Please always ensure your adapter is positioned in a well ventilated area and not left on fabric like a bedding or a lounge for extended periods of time to help keep your product cooler

A: Yes, this Docking Station works on a Silicon Motion chipset making it a Universal multiple monitor dock for Windows & Mac. On MacOS systems you will have to install the SMI InstantView software to display multiple monitors
Q: The dock is connected but is unresponsive, what should i do?

Q: I don't have a USB-C port on my laptop, can I use a USB-A to USB-C Adapter with the CMSM02?
