ISA Configuration Utility Messages

The ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) and its Configu- ration Manager are capable of identifying problems and alerting you to them. Both utilities can alert you to prob- lems with card configuration as well as problems that prevent proper operation of the utility. This appendix describes each type of message and lists the possible causes and actions you can take to resolve any problems indicated by a message. See the following tables to locate your message and identify any possible corrective actions.

ICU Error Messages

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.
