Hi pavin,

I'm a part of Dell Social Media Team. You can plugin the Card in the card reader located on the top of the Tower, once you insert the card, you will see an auto play dialog to access the card. If you are unable to see the same, check the Computer folder. Further, if you still unable to access the card, download and update all the available chipset drivers located here: http://dell.to/1lLHiUu and test the same.

Hope that helps.
