You don't hear any beeps when you insert a PC card
The PC card is probably not inserted correctly. Remove it from
the socket and inspect it for anything that could obstruct a
connection. If you find an obstruction, remove it and reinsert
the PC card firmly in the socket. If there is no obstruction, there
may be a conflict with your computer's memory manager. See
your card and socket services documentation for instructions
on how to handle memory manager conflicts.
When you restart the computer by pressing Ctrl Alt Del, your
PC card(s) do not work properly
Some computer systems do not reset the PC card socket
controller when you restart the system with the Ctrl Alt Del key
sequence. When you use this sequence, the system BIOS may
incorrectly identify an installed and configured PC card as a
peripheral that resides on the system card or in an adapter
installed on an expansion bus. The BIOS then proceeds to
handle the operation of your PC card as it would any other
peripheral, creating a conflict with the card and socket services
software.
You can often correct this problem by updating your system's
BIOS. When a computer manufacturer realizes there is a
problem caused by its system failing to reset the socket
controller, the company typically releases a BIOS update which
solves the problem. Until an updated BIOS is available to you,
you can follow one of these two suggestions:
Remove all installed PC cards before restarting your system
with Ctrl Alt Del.
Restart your computer only by turning its power off and
then on.
