prevent proper operation of the utility. This appendix

causes and actions you can take to resolve any problems
indicated by a message. See the following tables to locate

The ICU can display a variety of error messages while in
operation. These messages alert you to problems that pre-
vent the ICU from running correctly, as well as informing
you of resource conflicts that prevent the configuration of
various cards in your computer. If you receive a message
from the ICU, see Table B-1 for suggestions on resolving
any problems indicated by the message.
