HP USB-C Dock G5
This dock model replaces the previous mechanical docks and connects to laptops via USB-C.
The HP USB-C Dock requires a power supply, which connects via a port on the bottom of the dock. The power plug can be inserted as shown in the image below.

Two additional USB type A ports and a 3.5 mm headphone jack are on the right hand side. The front of the dock has a USB-C port as well.
Connect the laptop to the dock via the attached USB-C cable. The USB-C port is located on the right side of the laptop, near the screen hinge.
Note: USB-C is a reversible connection and will function when connected in either orientation.
