Working on Your Computer
Before Working Inside Your Computer
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer from potential damage and to help to ensure your
personal safety. Unless otherwise noted, each procedure included in this document assumes that the following
conditions exist:
You have performed the steps in Working on Your Computer.
You have read the safety information that shipped with your computer.
A component can be replaced or--if purchased separately--installed by performing the removal procedure in
reverse order.
WARNING: Before working inside your computer, read the safety information that shipped with your computer. For
additional safety best practices information, see the Regulatory Compliance Homepage at www.dell.com/
regulatory_compliance.
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your

cables have connectors with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs
before you disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any
connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable, ensure that both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
NOTE: The color of your computer and certain components may appear differently than shown in this document.
To avoid damaging your computer, perform the following steps before you begin working inside the computer.
1. Ensure that your work surface is flat and clean to prevent the computer cover from being scratched.
2. Turn off your computer (see Turning Off Your Computer).
3. If the computer is connected to a docking device (docked) such as the optional Media Base or Battery Slice,
undock it.
CAUTION: To disconnect a network cable, first unplug the cable from your computer and then unplug the cable
from the network device.
4. Disconnect your computer and all attached devices from their electrical outlets.

Overview
The Dell Latitude ST features a Windows 7 operating system in a 10" touch-screen slate, combining the mobility of a
tablet with the manageability, security and compatibility of a laptop.
The Latitude ST , opens a new category of tablet platforms that address the unique needs of business users like:
Business class security, manageability and virtualization support
Intel Atom CPU and full multi-touch capabilities with pen input for annotation
Unique offerings for Healthcare, Education, and Finance Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional
The familiar operating system interface allows you to develop and edit business documents on the go with enterprise-
class security features. The convenient size, weight and multi-touch features of the tablet allow mobility and ease of use
of enterprise applications. Latitude ST can be configured with a full suite of Windows Office business applications.
Additionally you can connect your tablet to your mouse, printer, HD display and wired network via the optional docking
station. Taking notes on the Latitude ST is easy using the N-Trig stylus or gesture-enabled multi-touch screen. It also
comes built in with a front-facing 720 pixel camera and a 5.0 MP back-facing camera. Latitude ST is designed to be
durable with the rubberized bumper that helps protect against accidental drops, while Corning Gorilla Glass helps
ensure that your screen can withstand the unexpected.
The Dell Latitude ST is built to be thin and light to match the mobility needs of executives, sales managers, doctors, and
students alike. This allows the product to function as a primary system during short business trips, sales calls, etc. It
was designed from the ground up to be managed similarly to how notebooks, desktops and workstations are managed
today.
Interface
The following table lists the Latitude ST interfaces:
Table 1. Latitude ST Interfaces

Touch Ability to use finger as an input device.
Windows Journal Native note-taking application which takes input directly from pen or touch.
Snipping Tool Tool used to capture portions of visual data (documents, pictures, and so on) via pen or touch.

Feature Description
Cursor Feedback Ability to see if the target has been hit by using visual feedback for success.
Pen Overview
The Latitude ST uses several input devices. The standard external USB keyboard and mouse are present, plus you can
opt for the electrostatic pen or just use your finger as an input device.
The Latitude ST uses a specifically designed electrostatic pen or stylus for use in tablet PC mode. Instead of relying on
battery power, the energy source for the stylus is magnetic energy produced by the excitation coil built into the digitizer
itself. The signal from the coil is picked up by the stylus and triggers the stylus to transmit an electric field.
The transmitted electric field is sensed by a matrix of conductive lines on the slate. The accurate stylus position is
determined using the low amplitude signals received on the vertical and horizontal conductors. Thus an appropriate
signal is transferred to the digitizer's on-board processor.

5. Removable cap to replace the battery
Calibrating The Pen
The pen can function at the default calibration or at a calibration set by you or by another user. It is recommended that
you use the pen only while it is calibrated to your personal calibration settings. Calibration optimizes pen performance
for each user.
10
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Double-click Tablet PC Settings.
3. On the Tablet PC Settings window, click Calibrate.
4. On the Calibrate pen or touch input screens, select Pen input.
Removing / Inserting the Stylus Battery and Pen Tip
To remove/insert the battery, un-tighten the screw cap. The battery with ‘+’ sign should be inserted into the stylus first.
To remove the pen tip, hold the pen tip and pull it out from the stylus. Install a new pen tip on the stylus pen head.
Electronic Pen Usage
The Latitude ST uses several input devices. The standard external USB keyboard and mouse are present, plus you can
opt for the electrostatic pen or just use your finger as an input device.
Using the Pen as a Mouse
You can use the pen the same way you use a mouse or touch pad with a notebook computer. Holding the pen near the
display makes a small cursor appear. Moving the pen moves the cursor. The following table describes how to use the
pen.
Table 2. Electrostatic Pen Usage
Appearance Action Function
Gently tap the pen tip on the screen of your Tablet
PC.
Same as a single-click on a mouse.
Gently tap the pen tip twice in quick succession
on the screen of your Tablet PC.
Same as a double-click on a mouse.
Touch the pen on the screen and hold it in place
momentarily until Windows draws a complete
circle around the cursor.
Same as a right-click on a mouse.
Using the Pen as a Pen
The handwriting recognition software makes it easy to enter text into your applications with the pen. Some applications,
such as Windows Journal, allow you to write with the pen directly into the application window.
11
Tablet PC Input Panel
When an application does not directly support pen input, you can use the Tablet PC Input Panel to enter text into your
application. If you tap in an editable area, the Tablet PC Input Panel icon appears. Tapping the icon makes the Input
Panel slide out from the edge of the display.
You can move the Input Panel tab by dragging it up or down along the edge of the screen. Then, when you tap it, the
Input Panel opens at the same horizontal location on the screen that the tab appears.
Working With Files
You can open, delete, or move many files or folders at one time by selecting multiple items from a list. Using a tablet pen,
hover over one item at a time and select the check box that appears to the left of each item.
To turn check boxes on:
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Go to Folder options.
3. Click View.
4. Under Advanced settings , select the Use check boxes to select items check box, and then click OK.
Entering Text
You can use handwriting recognition or the touch keyboard to enter text.
12
Table 3. Input Panel Icons
Icon Name Function
Handwriting
recognition
The writing pad and character pad convert handwriting into typed text. You can write
continuously on the writing pad, like writing on a piece of lined paper. Use the
character pad to enter one character at a time. The character pad converts your
handwriting to typed text, one letter, number or symbol at a time, but does not take the
context of the full word into account and does not take advantage of the handwriting
dictionary. To switch to the character pad in Input Panel, tap Tools, and then select
Write character by character.
Touch
keyboard
The touch keyboard is like a standard keyboard, but you enter text by tapping the keys
with your tablet pen or finger.
The writing pad and the character pad have a number pad, a symbol pad, and web quick keys to help you quickly and
accurately enter these types of text. These quick keys are hidden when you start to write, but appear after you insert or
delete your writing.
By default, The Input Panel automatically switches to the touch keyboard when you place the insertion point in a box for
entering a password.
Pen Flicks
Pen flicks enable you to use the pen to perform actions that normally require a keyboard, such as pressing <Page Up> or
using the directional arrow keys. Pen flicks are quick, directional gestures. You simply quickly draw a short line in one of
eight directions. When a pen flick is recognized, the Tablet PC performs the action assigned.
The following image below depicts the default pen flick settings.
These can be customized by going to Start > Control Panel Pen and Touch and clicking on the Flicks tab.
13
Touch Usage
One of the key advantages of the Tablet PC is the ability to easily switch from pen input to touch input.
When you use Touch Mode , a translucent image of a computer mouse, called the touch pointer, floats beneath your
finger. The touch pointer has left and right mouse buttons that you can tap with your finger. You use the area beneath
the buttons to drag the touch pointer.
To show the touch pointer, go to Start Control Panel Pen and Touch and clicking on the Touch tab. Then at the
Touch Pointer section, check the option Show the touch pointer when I'm interacting with items on the screen.
14
Docking Station
The docking station is designed for Latitude ST. The docking station can be purchased separately from dell.com. For
more information, see the docking station setup guide available on support.dell.com.
