Pcmcia Network Connections - Winbook x1 User Manual

X series manual w/no OS
• In many cases, your network card has to be present when you boot
the system to be recognized by the network (since Windows identifies
itself to the network as it boots). Unless you are an experienced user
and know how to connect to your network manually, you should reboot
your system if you want to install your network card.
• Do not remove a fax/modem card while the card is transferring data
to or from your computer.
• If you remove a fax/modem card, remember to shut off any automated
functions that use that card (such as fax receive-monitoring).
• Be aware if you have other software (such as e-mail) that accesses
a network card or fax/modem card and change the software settings
if needed.
• Do not remove a storage card (such as a hard disk or ATA card) or
a card connected to a storage device (such as a SCSI card connected
to an external drive) while the computer is accessing that card.
• If your card is a storage card or connects to a storage device, it might
need to be present when you boot the system in order to be assigned
its proper drive letter. Check the documentation for your card and/or
device for further information.
• Some PC cards may require additional system resources. You might
have to disable the serial port or another device to free resources
for the card (Refer to the Help and Support Center within Windows for
information about hardware resources). Check the card documentation
for more information.
