Conserving Energy
When PC Cards are installed in your notebook, they draw power
from the system even when they are not in use. To conserve
power, remove PC Cards when they are not being used.
Installing Additional Device Drivers
Device drivers are programs or data files containing information
needed to run a particular PC Card. Most of the device drivers
you need are preinstalled by Compaq.
To save available memory, some device drivers are not turned on.
Some types of PC Cards, such as network cards, Global
Positioning System (GPS) cards, SCSI cards, audio cards, and
multifunction cards, require an additional software device
driver to function properly. The device driver is provided by the
PC Card manufacturer and should be installed according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install other PC Card software that is provided by the
manufacturer, even if prompted to do so. The other software may
prevent the notebook from working properly with all of your
PC Cards.
