Hello,
I received a new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Notebook, but my desk already has a Fujitsu Thunderbolt 4 Port Replicator, which performs well. All functions are working except the Power-On button on the replicator. The manual indicates that only specific products are supported for the Power-On button, and even some Fujitsu notebook models aren’t included.
I attempted to install the Thunderbolt Control Center (link provided), but it returned an error about the Intel driver not being installed. In Device Manager it appears the driver is detected and installed, yet the Power-On button remains unresponsive.
Should I need to adjust settings in the BIOS or is there another way to resolve this issue?
Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! Here are some Lenovo Carbon X1 models in the ThinkPad lineup—what is your SKU? What BIOS version do you have installed on your laptop? Could you share a link to your Fujitsu dock? I found these resources:

Thank you for your friendly greeting.
The SKU is PF-5AM5T3 and the type is 21KC-00B9GE.
BIOS-Version: N3YET79W (1.44).
You shared the correct model of the port replicator in your links.
I noticed in the BIOS settings that Power-On on AC is available; I plan to try this feature.

The BIOS adjustment didn't work. The Power-On switch on the Fujitsu Port Replicator doesn't match Lenovo models, so I might need to buy something else for the Thinkpad.
