A-2 APPENDIX A: ABOUT CARD SERVICES

3Com recommends that you load Card and Socket Services into upper memory by using the DEVICEHIGH statement to load these programs. Consult your Card Services documentation for more information. For example, type:

DEVICEHIGH=C:\<directory name>\SS365SL.EXE DEVICEHIGH=C:\<directory name>\CS.EXE

If Your Computer Does Not Have Card Services

The 3C689 adapter has intelligent drivers and configuration software that detect the presence of Card Services. If Card Services is not present, then the adapter automatically uses its built-in point enabler to manage system resources.

Avoiding Memory Manager Conflicts

If you are running Card Services, you may need to inform the memory manager already loaded on your computer of the address range used by the 3C689 adapter. To inform the memory manager, follow these steps:

1Make a backup copy of the CONFIG.SYS file. Type:

Copy CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.OLD

2Use a text editor to edit out the startup command for the memory manager located in the CONFIG.SYS file. The startup command will look similar to this:

device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems

To edit out this command, type REM in front of it:

REM device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems

3Save the CONFIG.SYS file and reboot the computer.

4Insert the TokenDisk diskette into the floppy drive and make that drive the active drive. For example, type:

A:[Enter]

5At the prompt, type:

Install [Enter]
