PC Server 520 - Configuration conflicts
Applicable to: World-Wide
Configuration Conflicts
The resources used by a 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:
- A device is installed that 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 , only one of the adapters can be configured.)
- 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 adapter).
The steps required to resolve a configuration error are determined by the number and variety of hardware devices and software programs install in the system.
The following information for resolving these types of conflicts are divided by machine type and model number.
- General type and model information
- Resolving Hardware Configuration Conflicts
- Resolving Software Configuration Conflicts
- Changing the Software Configuration
