❖ Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.

See “Using an ExpressCard

®

” in the electronic user’s guide for 

information about how to insert ExpressCards.

❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected.
❖ Occasionally a defective ExpressCard slips through quality 

control. If another computer with an ExpressCard slot is 
available, try the card in that machine. If the card malfunctions 
again, it may be defective.

Here are some common problems and their solutions:

Check the ExpressCard

®

 status:

Click Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, and 
then Device Manager.

Double-click the appropriate ExpressCard, which will be listed 
under one of the categories shown, for example: Disk drives, 
Network adapters, Other, etc.

The operating system displays your ExpressCard’s Properties 
dialog box, which contains information about your 
ExpressCard configuration and status.

.

The problem may be caused by an I/O (input/output) conflict 
between the socket and another device in the system. Use Device 
Manager to make sure each device has its own I/O base address. 
See “Fixing a problem with device manager” in the electronic 
user’s guide for more information.

Since all ExpressCards

®

 share the same socket, each card is not 

required to have its own address.
