Trouble shooting hints:
It is vital for the user to assign non-conflicting resources to
the SMC EZ PCMCIA Adapter. Windows NT is not a plug-and-play
system. It is the user's responsibility to make sure the resources
assigned to the PCMCIA adapter are not already occupied by some other
device in the system. If at Windows NT initialization the
Service Control Manager displays the message "At least one service or
driver failed during System Startup. Use Event Viewer to examine the
event log for details," the user should follow this instruction to
view the System Log file to check if the failure is related to SMC EZ PCMCIA
ADAPTER.
If the SMC8022 LAN function fails, more than likely it is due to a
resource conflict.
The user can follow these steps to examine the resources currently
in use:
1. Click on the "Start" button.
2. Select "Programs," "Administrative tools," and "Windows NT
diagnostics."
3. Select the "Resource" tab.
4. Click the "IRQ" button to see the IRQ's that are already assigned.
When the user allocates an IRQ to SMC EZ PCMCIA ADAPTER,
the IRQ must not be in use by another device.
5. Click the "I/O Port" to see the I/O ports in use. When the user
allocates a set of I/O addresses to SMC EZ PCMCIA ADAPTER,
the I/O addresses must
not be in use by another device.
6. Click the "Memory" button to see the memory range in use.
If the user assigns conflicting resources, the symptom varies. The
system may appear to hang at initialization, at the shutdown stage,
or during the course of operation. In these cases, the user should
remove the SMC EZ PCMCIA card, and restart the system without the card in
a PCMCIA slot. After the system comes up, the user can select a
different set of resources, insert SMC EZ PCMCIA ADAPTER back into the slot,
and restart the system.
