You cannot, as Alienware notebooks aren't designed to be used with a docking station.

None of the Alienware Laptops were sold with or validated/tested with Dell Docks or any non-Dell docks. Dell agents will not be able to assist in troubleshooting any dock issue on Alienware Laptops.

Very disappointed
Thank you @Chino de Oro and @ejn63 for your response
For a recommend solution
I enabled the wake-up by keyboard feature in Windows 11, which works fine. However, after around 3 hours in sleep mode, the laptop enters a "deeper sleep," and the keyboard can no longer wake it up
I would like to use the 'Wake up on AC' BIOS setting as this would be ideal (plugging in power turns both the monitor and laptop on). However, my UEFI does not support this feature, and I have searched everywhere
What solutions would you recommend to solve this issue?
