I) Installing your Driver from the Web.
------------------------------------------------
There are several ways that you can install or Obatin your Driver.
One of the more common ways to obtain the driver, is to download it from the
Dell Support Website.  This can be done by going to http:\\www.dell.com.  This
is typically where updates for your driver can be found.  

You will need to download the driver from the website and save it into a 
folder/directory.  Dell typically has a directory refered to as "C:\Dell\Drivers" 
that you may want to place the file into.

Select the driver from the Dell Website, you will be prompted with two choices.
  a.)  Run Program
  b.)  Save to Disk

If you select (a), it will launch and run the self extracting program and will place
the drivers in the directory you specify.

If you select (b), it will prompt you for a location to save your files to. Once 
the download is complete, you will need to change to the location that it was saved to, 
and launch the file from there.

It is recommended that you select (a), Run Program.

After drivers have been saved to the local Drive, perform the following:

--  Go to device manager and install CMD IDE controller driver for Windows 2000  by the 
    following steps:

        a. Verify that you have been logged on to your system as Administrator.
       
        b. Make sure your system is attached to the Dell Docking Station.

	c. Right click on my computer icon, select properties, left click on 'Hardware'
           tab, and then on 'Device Manager' button.

	d. Double click on 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers', then on 'Standard Dual Channel 
           PCI IDE controller' or if present "CMD PCI Ultra DMA Controller", left click 
           on 'Driver' tab, then on 'Update Driver' button to bring up 'Upgrade Device 
           Driver Wizard.'

        e. Select 'search for a suitable driver for my device' and click 'next' when install
                  hardware drivers.

                click 'next', type in the location where you extracted the driver files.

           At search results, the Driver Wizard either found the <folder/directory saved in>\cmdide.inf at the
           first time CMD driver is installed or found the c:\winnt\inf\oem0.inf if the cmdide.inf
           has been installed to the hard disk before.

           Continue to install and ignore the 'Digital signature not found' message.

           Click 'OK' to copy driver file. 

   
    You must restart the computer for the CMD IDE driver to take effect.

    Notes: Make sure the transfer mode settings is "DMA if available" in the IDE channel properties
           under device manager to get maximal performance.

a resource CD. You may review this CD to see if you have the latest driver available to you on 
the CD.  If the driver is not current, you may always go to http:\\www.dell.com for updates to
any number of drivers that you may require for your system.
