problems
ExpressCards
®
include many types of devices, such as a removable
hard disk, additional memory, or a pager.
Most ExpressCard problems occur during installation and setup of
new cards. If you are having trouble getting one or more of these
devices to work together, several sections in this chapter may apply.
If your system does not have built-in drivers for your ExpressCard
and the card did not come with an operating system driver, it may
not work under the operating system. Contact the manufacturer of
the ExpressCard for information about using the card under the
operating system.

❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected.
❖ Occasionally a defective ExpressCard

slips through quality
control. If another computer with a ExpressCard slot is
available, try the card in that machine. If the card malfunctions
again, it may be defective.
