Resolving Resource Conflicts

Note: You require your PCS Connection Card installation CD to complete
this procedure.

The PCS Connection Card requires these system resources:

1 IRQ

40 bytes of I/O space

1 communications port

If these resources are not available to the card, you have a resource
conflict. If another PC Card is installed, you may be able to free the
necessary resources simply by ejecting the other card. Otherwise, you may
need to disable another device (such as an internal modem, infrared
device, or network card) to resolve the resource conflict. This section
explains how to disable other devices.
