Each time you use the RCU to configure your system, the system configuration infor- mation is saved in a .sci file and in system memory. You should save the system configuration information to a backup file that can be used to restore the information if the .sci file is damaged or lost. The options for the Maintain SCI Files Menu category are Open (the default) and Save As.

The Open option creates a backup file that overwrites the existing configuration. The Save As option allows you to select the filename under which you want the .sci file saved.

The RCU automatically resolves resource conflicts between two PCI expansion cards. It is extremely unusual for the RCU to fail in resolving a resource conflict between two PCI expansion cards. If the RCU fails to resolve the conflict, see Chapter 12, “Getting Help,” in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for information on obtaining technical assistance. If the Set Verification Mode menu category is set to Automatic, the RCU tries to resolve the conflict. If the utility cannot resolve the con- flict, some devices installed in the system are deactivated and the following message is displayed:

If the caution message appears, press <Enter> to display a list of all cards installed in your computer. The deactivated card is enclosed by < > symbols.

You can remove the card(s) with which it is in conflict, or change the resources on one or more cards. See “Removing an Expansion Card” in Chapter 8 of the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.

If you remove the card(s) with which the new card is in conflict, or if you want to change the resources of one or more cards, use the procedure described in the next subsection.

NOTE: Locked cards may cause resource conflicts.

To unlock a card, use the following procedure:

1.Press <F7> in the Step 3: View or Edit Details menu (from the Steps in Configuring Your Computer menu).

2.Select Lock/Unlock Boards and press <Enter>.

3.Select the card(s) you want to unlock, and press <Enter>.
