Common Problems

A new expansion card may cause I/O port address
duplication. Check all settings for all cards. Remove
cards one at a time if necessary to confirm which cards
are causing the problem.
If the computer still does not boot up after removing
the IFC-EC2U3/UC, the computer itself may be
broken. Please contact the vendor you purchased your
computer from.
Turn off your computer and reinstall the card. If there is
an empty Express card slot available, try to install the
card in a different Express card slot.
