Dual-monitor docking stations are used by many APU employees in order to connect their laptops to multiple monitors and accessories. Docking Stations are purchased through the Equipment Request Form located on our IT Forms page! If you run into any issues with your docking station such as monitors not displaying correctly, monitors disconnecting, etc., please download the DisplayLink Drivers using the instructions below.
