ABSTRACT:
A communications card for use with a computer system that provides a system for reducing unnecessary power consumption. When the system is enabled, the card prevents the computer system from detecting insertion of the card until cable necessary for communication is connected to the card. Once a cable is connected, two nodes within the card are coupled together allowing the computer system to detect the presence of the card. The computer system then activates the card by applying power thereto.
