7.3.1 Before Using PC cards
Before using you PC card, you had better to verify you installation. Please check the following step by step.
Verify you CONFIG. SYS file: After software installation your
CONFIG.SYS file will include command lines shown at the right side
box.
The lines 5 to 9 and the lines 12 to 13 are included only when the
supplied software disk contains optional Flash File System II (FFS2) or
FTL.
For using Flash card, FFS2 or FTL are required.
Make Sure CardSoft are successfully loaded : After verifying your
CONFIG.SYS file, reboot system and then make sure there are no error
( beep ) during the process of loading these device drivers.
Check resource for CardSoft : The CSALLOC utility scans the system
for available memory(MEM), I/O Port(IOP) and Interrupt Request
Line(IRQ) resource which can be used by your PC cards. To see what
resource your PC card can use from the C:\CardSoft directory, type
CSALLOC/d and press Enter. A listing similar to the following is
displayed.

7.3.2 Card Insertion & System Beeps
When you insert a card, your system emits a beep code to let you know whether or not the CardSoft
software was able to recognize and configure the card. These beep codes are:
Medium tone followed by high tone beep: The PC card was recognized and successfully configured
when inserted.
Single low tone beep: The PC card was recognized. but not successfully configured when inserted. When
you hear a single low tone, it means the card will not work, and you may have to change your system
configuration or CardSoft configuration to get the Card to work. Please refer to the section Using PC cards
and Trouble Shooting at the end of this User’s Guide.
Also, when you remove a card you should hear a high tone followed by a medium tone. This indicates that
CardSoft is aware that the card has been removed.
