If Your PC Does Not Have Card Services

If your PC does not have Card Services, the 3C589C PC Card
uses the 3Com point enabler to manage system resources.
The point enabler uses less memory but will not permit
another PC Card in the same PC.
If you do not have Card Services, you may experience
conflicts with the memory manager installed in your PC.
For more information, see the next section.

Using the 3C589C PC Card Without Card Services

If you are having problems with Card Services or you want to
disable it to save memory, you can reboot and press [F8] to
avoid loading Card Services. The 3C589C PC Card software
works without Card Services.
Avoiding Memory Manager Conflicts
If you are not using Card Services and you are using a
memory manager on your PC (all PCs running Windows have
a memory manager), you need to inform the memory
manager of the memory used by the 3C589C PC Card.
The 3C589C PC Card requires 4 K for the CIS memory for
normal operation (when you are running diagnostics, the
PC Card needs 8 K of memory).
The 3C589C PC Card searches the upper memory, finds the
4 K block that has been excluded, and uses this area for
storing the contents of the CIS memory. For this reason, you
do not need to exclude a specific range, as long as it is
contiguous.
