Configuration Conflicts (Netfinity 7000 - 8651)
Configuration Conflicts
The resources used by the server consist of IROs, DMA
channels, I/O ports (for example, serial and parallel), and
memory. This information is useful when a resource
configuration conflict occurs.
Conflicts in the configuration occur if:
- An installed device requires the same resource as
another device. (For example, if you install an ISA
network adapter and an EISA network adapter, both
requesting IRQ 5 , you can configure only one of the
adapters.)
- A device resource is changed (for example, changing
jumper settings).
- A device function is changed (for example, assigning
COM 1 to two different serial ports).
- An installed software program requires the same
resource as a hardware device (for example, a device
driver that uses the address required by the SVGA
video controller).
The steps required to resolve a configuration error depend
on the number and variety of hardware devices and
software programs install. It a hardware configuration error
is detected, a configuration error message appears after
the server completes POST, but before the operating
system starts. You can bypass the error or start one of
the configuration utility programs. Press Esc to bypass the
error and load the operating system.
The Setup program and the System Configuration Utility
program configure only the system hardware. These
programs do not consider the requirements of the
operating system or the application programs. See
'Resolving Configuration Conflicts' for additional information.
