OptiPlex 780 960 980 19-way Card Reader

This 19-way media and flash card reader is designed for Dell OptiPlex 780, 960 and 980 systems. It accepts 19 card formats including SM, XD, CF, MD, SD, MINI, MMC, RS, MS PRO and DUO. The W812M part fits directly into the front panel bay of those OptiPlex models.

Internal bay installation requires opening the case

The reader mounts in a standard 3.5-inch front bay and connects to an internal USB header on the motherboard. Installation is straightforward if the header is free and the bay is empty. Common issues include missing the USB header cable, blocked front bezels or mismatched screw holes on non-OptiPlex chassis.

Verify OptiPlex model and free internal USB header

Confirm your system is an OptiPlex 780, 960 or 980 before ordering. Check that the motherboard has an available internal USB header for the reader cable. Ensure the front 3.5-inch bay is unoccupied and the bezel has the correct cut-out. This reader will not fit other Dell lines or third-party cases without modification.
