Configuration Conflicts
4. Change configuration resource allocations. Use the built-in
Setup program to view or change system board resource
allocations. Use the Advanced selection of the EISA
Configuration Diskette's View or edit details screen to view the
available or the used system resources (see “Using the
Advanced Functions” on page 298). Use the Edit Changes
selection to change resource allocations for complex
configurations.
5. Change adapter jumpers or switches. Jumpers and switches
define the system resources that a device can use. If the settings
are incorrect or set to use a resource that cannot be shared, a
conflict occurs and the device remains deactivated by the
configuration program. Use the EISA Configuration Diskette's
Step 4, Examine switches or print report screen to verify
switches (see “Making Menu Selections” on page 295). If a
change is required, see “Preparing to Install Options” on
page 163, to remove the cover. In addition, read the
documentation that came with the device.
6. Change system board jumpers or switches. See “Preparing to
Install Options” on page 163, to remove the cover. Then refer
to the system-board diagram inside your server.
7. Remove the device or adapter. Some configurations are not
supported (for example, you cannot operate the server with two
ISA SVGA adapters installed). If you must remove an adapter,
see “Removing Adapters” on page 192.
Resolving Software Configuration Conflicts
The memory-address space and interrupt levels (IRQs) used by
some hardware options might conflict with addresses defined for
use through application programs or the EMS. (EMS is used only
with DOS.)
If there is a conflict, one or more of the following conditions might
exist:
The system cannot load the operating system.
The system does not work.
An application program does not operate, or it returns an error.
Screen messages indicate a conflict exists.
