Ch 2: System Environment Setting
•A message such as the following is displayed when you add or change an extended board:
“This operation cannot be completed because of a resource conflict.Due to ISA I/O aliasing,the I/O port(s) starting at XXXX conflicts with XXXX card I/O port(s) starting at XXXX.”
Explanation: | As conflict occurs between I/O port start address (XXXX) and start address (XXXX) |
| because of I/O aliasing for the ISA card. I/O aliasing refers to recognition of different |
| addresses as the same address because only lower 10 bits |
| addresses are effective. For example, I/O port addresses “100h” and “500h” are |
| recognized as the same address; therefore only “100h” must be set. |
Solution: | Take one of the following actions: |
•
•
•
Choose other values for resources for the extended board to be added.
In the ICU, do not set the resources for the extended board to be added. (However, settings for the extended board is required after the ICU is terminated.)
If the above message is displayed only within one extended board, only set the

You cannot use extended board not supported by the system equipment.
The communication board
While you are operating the ICU, sometimes characters might not be displayed properly or part of some ruled lines might be missing in some windows or dialog boxes, but nothing is wrong with the operation of the ICU. Referring to diagrams of windows and dialog boxes in this manual, keep on operation.
Japanese characters cannot be used for board names in “Add Card”. Use alphanumeric characters only.
The ICU program disk must not be shared between multiple systems. If you use the disk on different system equipment, names of ISA boards incompatible with Plug and Play might be changed to “Unknown Card” or displayed improperly.
Depending on the PCI board, “PCI Card: Unknown Card” is displayed in the [ISA Configuration Utility] window. This is not an abnormality.
Although you cannot change resources for PCI boards, you can specify whether or not to invalidate or lock resources. However, when you restart the system equipment, the setting will be initialized to Invalid or Unlocked.
In some types of machines in which an ISA board incompatible with Plug and Play is installed, use of the ICU causes “Unknown Card” to be displayed.
Make sure not to change settings for the IDE controller.
In the [Memory] list box “1FFFFF” is always displayed; however, the actual memory capacity is correctly recognized. The end address of an address range might not be entirely displayed because of the number of total digits is too large for the display range. This is not an error.
