Resolving Configuration Conflicts

ŸA software program is installed that requires the same resource device.

The	steps	required	to resolve	a	configuration error	are	determined
and	variety of hardware devices and software programs you install. I
configuration error is detected,configuration errormessage appears						after the
server completes POST and before the operating system						is	loaded. You
bypass the		error	byEsc pressingwhile	the	error message is	displayed.

The Configuration/Setup Utility program configures the system hardware interrupt requests. The program does not consider the requirements of operating system or the application programs. See “Resolving Software Configuration Conflicts” for additional information.

Resolving Hardware Configuration		Conflicts
Use the following information			to help	resolve	hardware		configuration c
1. Run	the	Configuration/Setup	Utility	program	to	view	and change	res
used	by	the system board functions. Record				the	current settings
any changes. (See “The Configuration/Setup Utility”							on page 21	for
instructions.)

2. Determine which adapter or device is causing the conflict.

3. Change

Resolving Software Configuration			Conflicts

expanded			memory		specification				(EMS). (EMS	is used only with DOS.)
If	a	conflict			exists,		one	or	more of the following conditions might
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.
Ÿ	Screen		messages indicate					a	conflict	exists.

To resolve conflicts, you can change the software or hardware config

Note: Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program to view the address your system board functions.

The best way to resolve memory-address conflicts is to change the a by the application program or the device driver. You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to change addresses.
