Possible Solutions
See your software documentation and activate the correct
driver.
See your PC Card documentation to determine the
required I/O address. Change the settings in the BIOS. (See
BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information)
Check all I/O addresses located within the BIOS setup
utility and any other installed hardware or software to
make sure there are no duplications.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the presence
and condition of the batteries. (See Status Indicator Panel
on page 13 for more information) Install a charged battery
or a Power adapter.
