Ensuring PC Card Support and Operation
(Windows NT)
The optional PC Card adapter is used with devices based on standards developed by the
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). See the operating
system documentation and Help for more information on PC Card device support.
To ensure proper operation of PC Card devices with a system running Windows NT, make
sure the device drivers that control PC Card device operation are set to start correctly. Do
this before using the PC Card adapter, or anomalous behavior may result. Go to Devices in
the Control Panel and do the following:
u
Set the Pcmcia device to start as a Boot device.
u
Set the Atdisk device to start as a System device.
Restart the system after making these changes. As the system restarts, run BIOS Setup and
make the following BIOS changes to ensure proper operation of specific PC Card devices:
u
For a PC Card hard disk device (ATA or AT type), go to Advanced/PCI-PnP
Configuration/PCI-PnP IRQ Exclusion and reserve IRQ 9.
u
For a PC Card modem, go to Advanced/Integrated Ports and disable serial port B.
See System Setup
for more information on using the BIOS Setup program.
To use a PC Card modem, take these additional steps:
1. Insert the PC Card modem into the PC Card adapter, and then restart the system.
2. In Devices/Modems in the Control Panel, use the Modem Wizard to auto-detect the PC
Card modem. Follow the directions displayed to select the proper driver software.
