Frequently Asked Questions C-3
Can I run two of the same type cards simultaneously?
Yes, Windows configures each card. If they are both modems, configure each
for a different Com port and different available interrupts under the Device
Manager in Windows. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, System, Hardware
(Windows 2000 only), Device Manager.
Why do certain PC Cards cause my battery life to drop noticeably?
Certain hard disk cards and wireless radio cards consume more power than
others and can impact battery life. When not using any PC Card, close all
applications using the card and pop it part of the way out of the slot to save
power.
In Setup, I disabled or reconfigured peripheral devices (like the ports or
sound), yet I am unable to use the freed IRQs or I/O address resources
with my PC Cards?
To provide a stable platform free of conflicts, NEC Computers excluded some
resources from PC Card use.
Diskette Drive
Why can’t I boot from the diskette drive?
To boot from the diskette drive, be sure that you have a diskette in the drive
containing operating system files. Be sure to check the Boot menu parameters
in the BIOS Setup Utility to determine the designated sequence of boot
devices. See Chapter 3, “Using the BIOS Setup Utility.”
See your operating system documentation for information about creating
system diskettes.
What happens if I leave a diskette in my diskette drive?
Shutting down your system with a diskette in the drive can damage the data on
your diskette and your drive. Remove the diskette before powering off.
