x17 R2, run on a K16A Dock?

New to asking questions on any platform so bear with me.

I just received my Alienware x17 R2 and attempted to connect it to my Dell K16A dock that I bought about 4 years ago.

When I connect the two, a low wattage warning comes up and I'm unsure of what to do?

I need to run two 32" monitors so a docking station is a must have item. So if my K16A can't work with the x17 R2 I could use a recommendation for a docking station that will work please.

The dock should work fine for video purposes, but don't expect it to power the notebook -- no dock is going to be able to provide power to that level of notebook computer.  You must have the original AC adapter connected to the system at all times.
