Dell D3100 docking station with a Dell Optiplex 5080 micro PC

[prthorsenjr@outlook.com]

Hi,

I have a Dell D3100 docking station I would like to use with my Dell Optiplex 5080 Micro PC to connect a third monitor. However, the Dell Optiplex 5080 Micro PC only has two monitor ports on the back. When I initially tried to set this up, only two of the three monitors would display. Will the Dell D3100 docking station allow me to connect three monitors to the Dell Optiplex 5080 Micro PC?

Also, should I download and install the Dell D3100 drivers prior to connecting the Dell D3100 docking station or after connecting it to the Dell Optiplex 5080 Micro?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Pete
