Symptoms

Dell Computer Does Not Work With a Thunderbolt 3 Device

You may encounter an issue where a Dell computer with a USB Type-C port does not support a connection to a Thunderbolt 3 device (such as a Dell Thunderbolt Dock (TB16). This is a result of either:

  • The system does not meet the hardware requirements for Thunderbolt 3.
  • The system can but was not ordered with an OPTIONAL Thunderbolt 3 controller.

Cause

Note: If the system was not ordered with the Thunderbolt 3 options, it cannot be added later.

Resolution

Ensure That Your System is Equipped With a Thunderbolt 3 Controller

While many Dell systems are equipped with a USB Type-C port, many of these systems do not have the optional Thunderbolt 3 controller. These systems have the USB Type-C port which can be used with Thunderbolt 3 on systems that are so equipped, but USB Type-C is the default port (Without Thunderbolt) for several systems.

Types of USB Type-C ports:

  • Power or Charge Battery
  • Data use only (select systems only)
  • Display Port over USB
  • Thunderbolt 3 device support (Optional on many systems, Standard on select systems)

These systems have USB Type-C but DO NOT HAVE Thunderbolt 3 capability:

  • Latitude 5175 2-in-1
  • Latitude 5179 2-in-1
  • Latitude 5280
  • Latitude 5290
  • Latitude 5480 (U or H processor and Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) integrated graphics)
  • Latitude 5580 (U or H processor and Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) integrated graphics)
  • Latitude 5490
  • Latitude 5590
  • Latitude 5285
  • Latitude 5289

Display Port over USB Type-C ONLY:

  • Vostro 13-5390
  • Vostro 13-5391
  • Vostro 14-5490
  • Vostro 15-5590
  • Vostro 15-5581

Here is an example of a USB Type-C system order SKU: 338-BKXK Intel HD Graphics 620 with DisplayPort over USB Type-C with Core i5 vPro

These systems are compatible with the Dell USB Type-C Dock (WD15)

Systems that have optional Thunderbolt 3 capability have a USB Thunderbolt configuration option listed in the BIOS regardless of having a Thunderbolt 3 option installed.

If the system DOES NOT have Thunderbolt 3 capability, the thunderbolt options are disabled and cannot be selected in the BIOS.

Dell Computer BIOS with No Thunderbolt Capability Example

These systems can be configured at the time of purchase with optional Thunderbolt 3 capability:

  • Latitude 5480 (H series processor with Discrete Graphics)
  • Latitude 5491
