My card reader wasn't working, so I opened up the workstation and found the cable is still wrapped and in plastic.  Where should I plug it in?

Bob,

 

The card reader should be USB based and should plug in to any open USB 2.0 port on the motherboard;

#4 and 3 X #6 are the USB 2.0 ports (the word "HERE" is directly below the ports in this image)

On page 29 of this document: http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c03678225/c03678225.pdf

It says item #4 is the front USB terminal, which would be the typical use for the card reader

Thanks for the reply.  I ended up using one of the open #6 connectors.

Thanks,
