Configuration conflicts
Configuration 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:
- A device that you installed 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
COM1 to two serial ports).
- 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 that 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 and interrupt requests. The program
does not consider the requirements of the operating
system or the application programs. For these reasons,
memory-address configuration conflicts might occur. You
can resolve some memory-address conflicts by changing
the address of the conflicting hardware option, or by
changing or moving the hardware. You might have to
resolve other memory-address conflicts by changing some
software parameters.
See Hardware configuration conflicts
and Software configuration conflicts
for additional information.
