PCServer330 - Resolving Software Configuration Conflicts

Applicable to: World-Wide

Resolving Software Configuration Conflicts:
The memory-address space and IRQs used by some hardware options might conflict with addresses defined for use through
application programs or the EMS. (EMS is used only with DOS.)

If a conflict exists, one or more of the following conditions might exist:
The system cannot load the operating system.
- The system does not work.
- An application program does not operate, or it returns an error.
- Screen messages indicate a conflict exists.
To resolve conflicts, you can change the software or hardware configuration.

Note: Start the Configuration/Setup utility program to view the addresses used by your system board functions.

The best way to resolve memory-address conflicts is to change the addresses used by the application program or the device driver.

If a device driver is causing a memory-address conflict, refer to the operating-system documentation or the documentation supplied with the device drivers.
