Using a PC Card

• After your computer returns from standby mode to normal operation, you cannot perform hot-plug and -unplug operations for certain Network PC Cards in the docking station slots. To solve the problem, restart the system.

• If you are communicating with a PC Card modem or inserting a PC Card in a PC Card slot, do not enter your computer into suspend mode, enter into hibernation mode, or click Stand by in the "Shut Down Window" window.

  Note:

  If you want to enter your computer into suspend mode, first stop the PC Card in the "PC Card (PCMCIA) Properties" window as follows: Click Start, move the cursor to Settings, and click Control Panel. Double-click PC Card (PCMCIA). From the list, select the card you are stopping. Click Stop.

  If you remove a communication PC Card from the PC Card slot and reinsert it later, it might not work correctly. You need to restart your computer.

• If you install a PC Card after replacing a CD-ROM drive with a diskette drive, and then later reinsert the CD-ROM drive, the card might lose its resource name for working. A CD-ROM drive (secondary IDE) always uses IRQ 15, but after the CD-ROM drive is replaced with a diskette drive, IRQ 15 will be free, and Windows 95 or Windows 98 will assign it to a new PC Card. But IRQ 15 must be taken over with IDE2 when a CD-ROM drive is reinserted.
