I have bought a CSV-1583. I have a Asus laptop with Windows 11 software. When I connect the Thunderbolt 4 cable to laptop it should power the laptop without any external power supply connected to the laptop. But it doesn’t seem to work. Do I need to change any settings in Windows to get it working?

The CSV-1583 should be able to supply up to 96W to the host.

Which model Asus laptop do you have? Are you sure it has a Thunderbolt port that accepts power delivery?

Do the Thunderbolt functions of the CSV-1583 work? I believe it supports two displays connected to GPU (using Thunderbolt DisplayPort tunnelling to the downstream Thunderbolt port and the 8K DisplayPort port) and two displays connected to USB (using DisplayLink drivers that output to the two pairs of HDMI/DisplayPort ports).

Is the 2.5 GbE supplied by PCIe or USB? I suppose it must be USB if it works for non-Thunderbolt or non-USB4 hosts (i.e. for USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode hosts).

It all works now. I first plugged it in the USB-C next to the Thunderbolt input. It is now connected to the thunderbolt input an it works correct now. Hard to see the difference and the sticker on top must haven been put on the wrong port, what made it even more confusing. I just needed to change some setting to make graphic card work with the power now coming from the hub. But it seems to work now. Thanks for the reply.

Good discussion—power management issues like CSV-1583 can really affect laptop performance and battery life if not handled properly. Proper optimization and hardware tuning make a big difference in reliability.
