HOT-PLUGGABILITY AND
SUSPEND/RESUME
The Windows 95 (NDIS 3), DOS NDIS, DOS ODI, and OS/2
NDIS drivers support hot-pluggability and the
suspend/resume capability. Hot-pluggability allows you to
attach or detach the 3C389 PC Card cable from the
PC Card while the PC is running. This has the same effect
on the operating system as physically removing the PC Card
from the slot; it conserves system resources such as battery
power and memory. When the cable is reattached, the
operating system behaves as if the PC Card was reinserted
into the slot.
Hot-swapping allows you to physically remove or insert the
3C389 PC Card from an operating PC. The environments
that support hot-plugging also support hot-swapping.
If you follow these guidelines, no damage will occur to
either your 3C389 PC Card, PC, or software when
hot-plugging.
To use the hot-plugging features of this card, you must:
■ Use Card and Socket Services.
CAUTION: If you are using a point enabler, do not
attempt to unplug your card while the machine is
powered on. You might damage both your card and the
machine in this case.
■ Use the Windows 95, DOS ODI environment, DOS
NDIS environment, OS/2 ODI environment, or OS/2
NDIS environment.
CAUTION: At the present time the DOS Native
environment and Microsoft Windows NT do not support
hot-pluggability and hot-swapping. Removing your card
while in these environments might result in a system
failure or the inability to access your LAN applications.
