if Dell shipped a card with the C/Dock Expansion

Station.

NOTE: If you are installing network drivers for a

Token-Ring PCI card, connect the computer to the

network before installing the drivers. Alert your net­
work administrator before connecting the C/Dock

Expansion Station to a network.

If you are using a PCI card that was not purchased

from Dell, use the drivers and instructions that

accompany that card.

NOTE: The PCI Token-Ring network card that Dell

installed has been tested for use with the C/Dock

Expansion Station. Although you can install other
PCI expansion cards, Dell does not guarantee their

functionality.

If you install a PCI video card in the C/Dock Expan­

sion Station, connect an external monitor to the

video port on the PCI card.

Token-Ring Network Driver

The computer must be docked and connected to the net­

work before you begin to install the IBM Token-Ring
network driver.

To install the Token-Ring network driver, use the instruc­

tions in Chapter 3, “Software Installation” of the IBM

PCI Token-Ring Adapter Installation and Testing Instruc­

tions that came with the C/Dock Expansion Station.

tery from the Dell Latitude portable computer in
