Device Initialization Error Messages
During device initialization, DriverLINX performs a thorough test of all
possible subsystems on the DAS-1800ST/HR Series board as well as the
computer interface. If DriverLINX detects any problems or unexpected
responses, it reports an error message to help isolate the problem. The
device initialization error messages fall into three basic categories:
●
“Device not found”
— Board address does not match hardware
setting or conflicts with another board. Verify the board’s address
settings. Also, don’t confuse hexadecimal with decimal addresses in
the DriverLINX
Device Configure
dialog box.
●
“Invalid IRQ level”
or
“Invalid DMA level”
— Selected level does
not match hardware setting, conflicts with another board’s IRQ/DMA
levels, or is dedicated to the computer’s internal functions (COM
port, disk drive controller, network adapter, etc.).
●
“Hardware does not match configuration”
— Operating
mode/range switch or jumper setting does not match selection(s)
made in the DriverLINX
Device Configuration
dialog box.
Identifying Symptoms and Possible Causes
Use the troubleshooting information in Table 7-1 to try to isolate the
problem. Table 7-1 lists general symptoms and possible solutions for
problems with DAS-1800ST/HR Series boards.
