PCServer330 - Resolving Hardware Configuration Conflicts

Applicable to: World-Wide

Resolving Hardware Configuration Conflicts:
Use the following information to help resolve hardware configuration conflicts:
1. Run the Configuration/Setup utility program to view and change resources used by the system board functions and the PCI
interrupt requests (IRQs), if necessary. Record the current settings before making any changes. (See 'Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility Program— for instructions.)
2. Determine which adapter or device is causing the error.
3. Change configuration resource allocations. Use the EISA Configuration program.
4. Change adapter jumpers or switches. Jumpers and switches define the system resources a device uses. If the settings are incorrect or set to use a resource that cannot be shared, a conflict occurs and the device will remain deactivated by the configuration program.
5. Change system board jumpers or switches. Refer to the system-board diagram inside your server.
6. Remove the device or adapter. Some configurations are not supported.
7. Assign EISA memory addresses starting with DFFFF (in hexadecimal), and work downward to address C8000 (in hexadecimal). PCI devices are automatically assigned memory addresses starting from C8000 (hexadecimal) working upward.
