Resolving configuration conflicts
or by changing or moving the hardware. You might have to resolve
other memory-address conflicts by changing some software
parameters. See “Resolving hardware configuration conflicts” on
page 58 and “Resolving software configuration conflicts,”
respectively, for additional information. See Chapter 5, “Solving
problems” on page 157 for information about troubleshooting
hardware and software problems.
Resolving hardware configuration conflicts
Use the following information to help resolve hardware
configuration conflicts:
1. Run the Configuration/Setup Utility program to view and
change the resources that the system board functions use.
Record the current settings before making any changes. (See
“The Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 36 for
instructions.)
2. Determine which adapter or device is causing the conflict.
3. Change adapter jumpers or switches. Some devices use jumpers
and switches to define the system resources that they need. If
the settings are incorrect or set to use a resource that cannot be
shared, a conflict occurs, and the device will remain deactivated
by the configuration program.
4. Change system board jumpers or switches. See “Preparing to
add options” on page 73 for instructions for removing the
cover. Then, refer to the system-board diagram inside your
server.
5. Remove the device or adapter. Some configurations are not
supported. If you must remove an adapter, see “Installing or
removing ISA and PCI adapters” on page 82.
Resolving software configuration conflicts
The Configuration/Setup utility might change the memory-address
space used by some hardware options. If this happens, the new
memory-address space and IRQs used by some hardware options
might conflict with addresses defined for use through application
programs.
