Universal USB-C Docking Station

The ThinkPad Universal USB-C Dock model 40AY0090US is a compact, OS-independent docking station that delivers power and connectivity through a single USB-C cable. It weighs 0.74 lbs and ships in black. The unit includes a 90 W power adapter and supports automatic firmware updates along with PXE boot, WOL and MAC Address Pass Through for managed environments.

Who this suits, who should look elsewhere

It suits professionals who need one-cable docking for a USB-C notebook in office or home setups and want IT-managed features such as automatic firmware updates and network boot support. Buyers whose notebooks require more than 65 W from the included adapter or who need 100 W charging without purchasing the optional 135 W slim-tip adapter separately should look elsewhere.

Capacity and headroom

The included 90 W adapter charges most USB-C notebooks up to 65 W, which covers typical ultrabook workloads and peripheral loads. For notebooks that draw up to 100 W, the optional 135 W adapter (part number 4X20E50558) is required; without it the dock cannot deliver the higher charging level.

Questions about this item

What type of notebook power port does the Lenovo 40AY0090US dock need to deliver up to 100 W charging?

The included 90 W adapter charges most USB-C notebooks up to 65 W; an optional 135 W slim-tip adapter (part number 4X20E50558) is required for 100 W charging.

Will the dock apply firmware updates automatically on a non-ThinkPad laptop running Linux?

Yes, critical firmware updates install automatically and the dock is OS independent, so it works with any operating system including Linux.

How can I verify the dock is passing my laptop's MAC address to the wired network after setup?

Connect the dock's Ethernet port, then check your OS network settings — the MAC address shown for the wired interface should match your laptop's physical MAC address.
