Configuration Conflicts
Configuration Conflicts
The resources used by your server consist of interrupt request levels
(IRQs), direct memory access channels (DMAs), 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, a conflict occurs when two adapters try to
write to the same address space.)
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, an expanded memory
specification (EMS) device driver that uses the address required
by the SVGA video controller).
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 only the system
hardware. The program does not consider the requirements of the
operating system or the application programs. See “Resolving
Software Configuration Conflicts” on page 170 for additional
information.
