Frequently Asked Questions C-3
PC Cards
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. Why?
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 external USB 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 Device Setup
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.
