Modular Accessories for Latitude Rugged Tablets
The Dell Latitude 12 Rugged 7202 and Rugged Extreme 7212 Tablets can expand their functionality by connecting accessory modules to them.
Each Module attaches securely to the back of the tablet when fitted and can be removed to reduce weight when not required.
The extended I/O module pictured above consists of:
- USB 3.0 connectors x two
- Network interface controller (NIC) Ethernet port

-
Seat the module at the back of the tablet. It locates above the batteries and on top of the Pogo-pin connector on the rear of the unit.
-
There is a screw in each corner of the module and a corresponding hole on the back of the tablet. Locate the screws to the four (4) holes and tighten until secure. (The screws are Thumbscrews. This means that tools are not required to fit or remove the module. There is a D-ring on the head of the thumbscrew that flips up and gives a better grip for tightening or loosening the screws.)
-
Removing the module is loosening the four (4) thumbscrews until the module releases from the back of the tablet.
