that came with your computer or docking device.
• Download the drivers from the Dell | Support website.

In most cases, the CD should start running automatically. If it does
not, start Windows

the CD contents, and then double-click the autorcd application file. If
a welcome screen appears, click Next. The first time that you run the
CD, it might prompt you to install some setup files. Click OK and
