Common Problems

A new expansion card may cause I/O port address duplication.
Check all settings for all cards. Remove cards one at a time if
necessary to confirm which cards are causing the problem.
If the computer still does not boot up after removing the
IFC-EC2U3/UC2, the computer itself may be broken. Please
contact the vendor you purchased your computer from.
Turn off your computer and reinstall the card. If there is an
empty Express card slot available, try to install the card in a
different Express card slot.
