Notes on using PC cards
❑ For some PC cards, if you alternate between normal power operation and the
Standby or Hibernate power-management modes while the card is inserted,
you may find that a device connected to your system is not recognized.
Reboot your system to correct the problem.
❑ Be sure to use the most recent software driver provided by the PC card
manufacturer.
❑ If an “!” mark appears on the Device Manager tab in the System Properties
dialog box, remove the software driver and then reinstall it.
❑ You may not be able to use some PC cards or some functions of the PC card
with this computer. If you have difficulty inserting a card, check that you are
orienting the card correctly. See the manual that came with your PC card for
more information on use.
✍ If your computer is turned off, you do not have to follow these instructions.
