Resolving resource conflicts
The resources used by the server consist of IRQs, DMA,
I/O port addresses, and memory. This information is
useful when a resource configuration conflict occurs.
Conflicts in the configuration occur if:
Ÿ
A device is installed that requires the same resource
as another device. (For example, a conflict occurs
when two adapters try to write to the same address
space.)
Ÿ
A device resource is changed (for example, changing
jumper settings).
Ÿ
A device function is changed (for example, assigning
COM1 to two serial ports).
Ÿ
A software program is installed that requires the same
resource as a hardware device.
The steps required to resolve a configuration error are
determined by the number and variety of hardware devices
and software programs you install. If a hardware
configuration error is detected, a
configuration error
message appears after the server completes POST and
before the operating system is loaded. You can bypass
the error by pressing Esc while the error message is
displayed.
The Configuration/Setup Utility program configures the
system hardware and PCI interrupt requests. The program
does not consider the requirements of the operating
system or the application programs. See “Resolving
software configuration conflicts” on page 51 for additional
information.
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 resources used by the system board
functions. Record the current settings before making
any changes. (See “Configuration/Setup utility” on
page 20 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 the device needs. 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. Remove the device or adapter. Some configurations
are not supported. If you must remove an adapter,
see “Installing or removing adapters” on page 57.
