Resolving configuration conflicts
The Configuration/Setup utility program configures only the
server hardware. It does not consider the requirements of
the operating system or the application programs. For
these reasons, memory-address configuration conflicts
might occur.
Changing the software configuration
setup:
The best way to resolve memory-address
conflicts is to change the software configuration by
changing the addresses that the EMS device driver
defined. The SVGA video memory occupies 32 Kb
(1 Kb
=
approximately 1000 bits) 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 (ROM). You can use the
Configuration/Setup utility program to view or change the
current setting for video ROM. For information about using
the configuration programs, see “Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility Main menu” on page 91.
Changing the hardware configuration
setup:
An alternative way to resolve memory-address
conflicts is to change the address of the conflicting
hardware option. See “Plug and Play” on page 99 for
information about reserving resources for ISA legacy
adapters.
