Precision 5560 Always Says Low Power Adapter With Multiple Docks

I've tried my 5560 workstation and it refuses to recognize any power supply as being adequate other than the original.  I've tried a 250w HP thunderbolt dock, a 200w Caldigit dock, and an Anker 135w dock.  Any of these should have plenty of power but I always get the message on boot that the power supply is not enough and warning icon on the power status once its booted.  Does anyone know how to convince it I've provided it with enough power?  

Thanks

If the system shipped with discrete graphics, it has a 130W adapter -- the Thunderbolt/USB-C can only supply 100 W.  The only solution to that isn't on the market yet -- i.e., Thunderbolt 5, which will be able to handle 240W.

Man that was driving me crazy.  I didn't put it together since I have several chargers that are 100+ watts that are usb-c.  I guess I'll have to live with low power docks or plug the OEM charger in along with it.
