Resolving Hardware Conflicts
Hardware conflicts occur when two or more peripheral devices attempt to use the same hardware
resources. I/O addresses, interrupts, and DMA channels are the most common hardware resources
used by peripheral devices.
Base I/O address 220H
Interrupt IRQ 5
8-bit DMA Channel 1
When different peripheral devices use the same hardware resources at the same time, the devices
and/or the system may not function properly. You can resolve hardware conflicts by ensuring that no
devices are configured to use the same hardware resources. These resources can either be dipswitch
or jumper settings on the peripheral card or software configurable resources. The Computer Setup
selection of your Compaq Utilities allows you to view and modify the settings for the peripheral
devices factory installed in your system. Refer to the User's Guide for the particular peripheral cards
you wish to install for information on how to view and select their settings.
