IBM 704 manual Resolving Hardware Configuration Conflicts

Configuration Conflicts

The Setup program and the System Configuration Utility program only configure the system hardware. These programs do not consider the requirements of the operating system or the application programs. See “Resolving Software Configuration Conflicts” on page 63 for additional information.

Resolving Hardware Configuration Conflicts

Use the following information to help resolve hardware configuration conflicts:

1.Run the System Configuration Utility program to view and change the resources that are used by the system board functions. Record the current settings before making any changes. (See “Starting the System Configuration Utility Program” on page 47 for instructions.)

2.Determine which adapter or device is causing the error. Use the Change Configuration Settings selection in the System Configuration Utility program to update system configuration information (.CFG) files. (See “Step 3: Change Configuration Settings” on page 49 for instructions.)

3.Change configuration resource allocations. Use the Change Configuration Settings selection in the System Configuration Utility program to view or change system-board resource allocations. (See “Step 3: Change Configuration Settings” on page 49 for instructions.)

4.Change adapter jumpers or switches. Jumpers and switches define the system resources that a device can use. If the settings are incorrect or set to use a resource that cannot be shared, a conflict occurs and the device remains deactivated. Use the Switch/Jumper Settings selection in the System Configuration Utility program to verify switches (see “Step 5: Switch/Jumper Settings” on page 50). If a change is required, see “Changing Jumper and Switch Settings” on page 289. In addition, read the documentation that came with the device.

5.Change system board jumpers or switches. If a change is required, see “Setting System-Board Configuration Switches” on page 299.
