If your PC comes with a memory manager preinstalled, or
if you would like to use one, you must configure your PC
so that the memory manager does not use the same
memory as your 3C389 PC Card. If you have more than
one 3C389 PC Card, you must reserve the memory
needed for all of them. One 3C389 PC Card cannot use
the same memory ranges as another.

To determine whether or not your PC has a memory
manager, edit your CONFIG.SYS file and look for the
memory manager driver name. For example, when using
EMM386, look for:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE ......

You must also consider your PC Card environment (Point
Enabler or Card and Socket Services) as described in the
sections that follow. For more information on your
memory manager and your configuration files, refer to
your PC’s operating system manual.

Memory Managers with Point Enabler

To prevent duplicate use of a memory location, the
memory range used by your 3C389 PC Card must be
excluded from the memory manager. To do this, you
must edit your CONFIG.SYS file. In certain environments,
LANAID will add the exclude statement automatically.

If you are using enhanced mode, 8 KB of memory must
be excluded. If you are using compatibility mode, 24 KB
of memory must be excluded.
