Resolving Resource Conflicts

Note: You must have your Sprint Mobile Broadband USB Modem installation CD to complete this procedure.

The Sprint Mobile Broadband USB Modem requires these system resources:

￿1 IRQ.

￿4096 bytes of I/O space.

￿2 available communications ports (one modem, one serial).

If these resources are not available to the USB modem, you have a resource conflict. If another PC device is installed, you may be able to free the necessary resources simply by ejecting the other device. Otherwise, you may need to disable another device (such as an internal modem, infrared device, or network device) to resolve the resource conflict. This section explains how to disable other devices.
