Welcome to the Dell Community @firehawse
There are a few ways so try this
For Bluetooth the E6420XFR requires a WiFi combo card. "Wifi and Bluetooth"
What is the model number of your WiFi card???
Best regards,

hi,
it has a 5630 and a 6300
i installed 2 new 7260 but wifi pro says it cannot detect the cards
so the only port spare is the wpan port for a 375

@firehawse
So it does have a separate card for the Bluetooth.
Let me open one in the morning and find where it goes.
There should be a cable and card.

ok great
the 375 goes where it says mini Mylar, under the wwan slot
the 375 has 1 antenna port, but where will the cable need to be routed ?
cheers
