My latest method to kill the ext HDD power is to de-power the screen when I am away for extended periods. Undock SP3, ext HDD attached to Monitor comes back to life, Quick press of the power button on the front off the Dell screen powers it right off. That will do for now.

Yes, but adiamant is not Daisy chaining and he is incorrect as the docking station does indeed support DP 1.2 and it works fine. He has but a single monitor connected to his docking station so cannot have DP1.2 selected. When connecting monitors to the docking station the last monitor must be...

I found a decent solution using the USB ports on my twin Dell monitors instead of those on the docking station. They have a option under Energy use: USB on/off during standby. Off being the default. So I simply plugged the HDD into the monitors USB instead of the docking station. Now when I...

Gee thats a bummer. Hope it comes good. AFAIK my SP3 all the June updates too? I just unboxed and hooked up 2x Dell U2414H monitors to the docking station, daisy chained. They were clearly labelled rev A03 on the outside of the cartons which was good. No way Dell could tell me this info before...

I see this is an old thread. Just looking for an update on what people are using for PDF annotation. I am brand new to the Surface Pro scene. Straight away I can see OneNote doesn't cut the mustard for annotating PDFs and MS Reader is pretty hopeless. To date I have been using an iPad with the...

Has there been any updates on this? Seems pointless taking quick notes with locked metro onenotes if it is in a skinny black pen that can never be changed. What were they thinking.

Aha thanks. Makes sense now what is going on. I eventually found the thread at http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/usb-power-on-dock-after-shut-down.15215/ where a solution is to use an additional USB hub that includes a power switch. Will probably just unplug the HDD when I go away from home...

I am new to the SP3 and these forums so excuse me if this has been covered before. I did a search and could not see mention of this issue. I have a 2TB WD My Passport connected to my Docking Station. It is my photo library for Lightroom. When I undock my SP3 from the Docking station I would...

Thanks for the reply. I am chasing it up with Dell and will report back with what they say. Having just spoken with DELL sales. They cannot specify the revsion number for the monitors that I have just ordered. However I can return them no questions asked within 15 days. So my plan is to have a...

Hi, Newby here. I want to do the same and hook up 2x Dell U2414H monitors to the docking station. Want to make sure I get rev A03 monitors before I order. Would everything Dell ship now be this revision or is there a chance of getting caught out with old gear still.
