About card and socket services software
Most new notebooks that are preconfigured with Windows NT 4.0 include card and socket
services software. Card and socket services software extends the basic functionality of
Windows NT 4.0 to include hot swapping and, with some software, power management.
Hot swapping allows you to insert and remove a PC card while the notebook is on. If you
do not have ‘hot-swapping’ functionality, you must shut down your notebook whenever you
want to insert or remove a PC card; otherwise, Windows NT does not detect the change.
The following card and socket services software supports hot swapping: Award CardWare,
Unicore CardWare, Phoenix CardWare, SystemSoft CardWizard 5.x, Softex PC Card
Controller, and Phoenix CardExecutive.
Power management prolongs the life of your notebook’s battery by ensuring that the
battery is used efficiently. It allows you to operate your notebook in suspend or standby
mode. Power management is supported with the following power management software:
Softex Power Management™ Controller and SystemSoft PowerProfiler®.
Note: Power management works only in combination with card and socket services that
support hot swapping.
