SYMPTOMS
When you use the Suspend command on a Dell Latitude XP laptop computer
connected to a port replicator, PCMCIA devices may not reactivate when you
resume the system.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the computer contains a BIOS version of A05 or
earlier. BIOS versions A05 and earlier do not send an Advanced Power
Management (APM) resume event to reenumerate PCMCIA devices when the
computer is connected to a port replicator.
RESOLUTION
To avoid this problem, do not use the Suspend command when the computer is
connected to a port replicator.
To resolve the problem, please contact Dell Technical Support to inquire
about obtaining an updated BIOS.
