Advanced Information for PC Cards
– For OS/2, disable the devices using COM1 or COM2; then restart the
system.
– For DOS or Windows, reserve COM2 for the PC Card, and use COM1
for other integrated communication devices.
Avoiding PC Card Resource Conflicts
PC Card Director checks the resources for most devices used by the system
to avoid resource conflicts, but it does not recognize all option devices used.
Especially when you are using the docking station, there is a possibility that
the I/O port address or IRQ level may conflict with the PC Card.
Check the status of the PC Card by using PC Card Director. When the PC
Card is set to “Ready,” the resources used for that PC Card are displayed.
Refer to the manuals supplied with the system or option adapters to check
that the resources for the devices in the system or for the option adapters
are not conflicting with the resources for the IRQ level, I/O port address, or
memory window of the PC Card. If you are using OS/2 Warp Version 3, you
can check the assigned system resources using RMVIEW.EXE.
If there is a conflict:
Use the Resource Map Utility, so that those resources are not assigned
to the PC Card. (Change the value for the
/MA=
parameter, or add the
/MX=
,
/PX=
, or
/IX=
parameter.)
If you are using OS/2 Warp Version 3, use RESERVE.SYS to register
those resources in OS/2.
To set RESERVE.SYS, refer to the manuals or online help for OS/2
Warp, or refer to the READ.ME file of PC Card Director.
If you are using Auto Configurator, change the enabling order or
resource information using the Auto Configurator Utility.
See “Starting the Auto Configurator Utility for OS/2 or Windows” on
page 275.
Change the parameter for the PC Card enabler. Refer to the manuals
supplied with the PC Card.
If you are using network cards, change the resource information for the
PC Card stated in the PROTOCOL.INI or NET.CFG file.
To change the configuration file for the network cards, refer to the
manuals or READ.ME files of the PC Cards or network drivers.
