CIS contains enough information for you to use the card
immediately.
Other cards must be set up before you can use them. Use the
Window s XP PC Card (PCMCIA) Wizard to set up the card.
Refer to your Microsoft® documentation for more
information, or refer to the documentation that came with the
PC Card.
Some card manufacturers use special software called
enablers to support their cards. Enablers result in
nonstandard configurations that can cause problems when
installing the PC Card.
If your system does not have built-in drivers for your PC Card
and the card did not come with an operating system driver, it
may not work with the operating system. Contact the
manufacturer of the PC Card for information about using the
card under the operating system.
PC Card checklist
❖Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.
See “Inserting and Removing PC Cards” on page 144 for
information about how to insert PC Cards.
❖Make sure all cables are securely connected.
❖Occasionally a defective PC Card slips through quality
control. If another PCMCIA-equipped computer is
available, try the card in that machine. If the card
malfunctions again, it may be defective.
