Installing PC (PCMCIA) Cards
If you plan to use a PC card while your NEC Versa is in the NEC Versa
Dock, it is recommended that you dock the system before installing the
card. The IDE controller inside the NEC Versa Dock uses IRQ11 and if
the card is installed before docking it could cause a resource conflict
with the system.
Installing PCI Cards
Two PCI slots let you add two PCI cards to your NEC Versa Dock. The
top slot supports a full-size PCI card and both slots support a half-size
(or smaller) PCI card. PCI connectors are located in the back of the NEC
Versa Dock. Only the top slot supports a full-size card.
The optional NEC 3Com Fast EtherLink LX provides a networking
solution for the NEC Versa Dock for systems running Windows 95 and
Windows NT 4.0. This PCI card supports Wake on LAN technology,
which allows you to manage your networked systems remotely.
For installation and configuration information, see the documentation
that came with the NEC 3Com Fast EtherLink LX.
Follow these steps to install a PCI card in the NEC Versa Dock.
1.
Unplug the NEC Versa Dock before installing or removing any PCI
cards.
2.
Remove the back cover by locating and removing the two screws.
3.
Put the screws in a safe place for use when replacing the cover.
