IBM 5000 Resolving Memory-Address Conflicts, Setup, Changing the Software, Changing the Hardware

Resolving Configuration Conflicts

Resolving Configuration Conflicts

The Configuration/Setup Utility program program configures only the system hardware. It does not consider the requirements of the operating sys application programs. For these reasons, memory-address configuration confli might occur.

Resolving Memory-Address Conflicts

The Configuration/Setup Utility program program might change the memory-address space used by some hardware options. If this happens, address might conflict with addresses defined for use through expand specification (EMS). (EMS is used only with DOS.)

If a memory conflict exists, one or more of the following conditions mi

Ÿ The system cannot load the operating system.

Ÿ The system does not work.

Ÿ An application program does not operate, or it returns an error.

ŸScreen messages indicate that a memory-address conflict exists.

You can resolve memory-address conflicts by changing either the softwar hardware configuration setup.

Changing the Software

Configuration

Setup

The best way to resolve memory-address conflicts is to change the sof

configuration

by

changing

the

addresses

that

the

EMS

device

driver

de

SVGA

video

memory

occupies

8 Kb =(1approximatelyKb

1000

bytes) of

space

in

the

hex

C0000

to C7FFF EMS memory area. EMS device drivers must use

addresses

different

from

those

assigned

to

video

read-only

memory

(RO

can

use

the

Configuration/Setup Utility program to view or change the

setting for video ROM. For information about using the Configuration/Setup

programs,

see

“Using

the

Configuration/Setup Utility”

on page 22.

If

the

SVGA

or

EMM386

device

driver is

causing the

memory-address

conf

to your DOS documentation. For conflicts caused by device drivers suppl

application programs instead of those supplied with DOS, refer to the

documentation

that

comes

with

the

device

drivers.

Changing the Hardware	Configuration	Setup
An	alternative	way to resolve memory-address conflicts is to change the
the conflicting		hardware option.
