If you have not resolved the problem after looking at and listening to the computer, continue with the instructions in "The System Setup Program" found next in this chapter. You can easily correct certain system problems by verifying the correct settings in the System Setup program. When you boot the system, the system checks the system configuration information and compares it with the current hardware configuration. If the system hardware configuration doesn't match the information recorded by the System Setup program, an error message may appear on the screen. This problem can happen if you changed the system's hardware configuration and forgot to run the System Setup program. To correct this problem, enter the System Setup program, correct the corresponding System Setup setting, and reboot the system. See Chapter 4, "Using the System Setup Program," in the Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User's Guide for detailed instructions on using the System Setup program. If you are experiencing problems with the system, you may have a conflict between the information stored by the System Setup program and the Resource Configuration Utility. Although the Resource Configuration Utility can read changes from the System Setup program, changes are not recorded into configuration memory until you run the Resource Configuration Utility and save the new information. See Chapter 5, "Using the Resource Configuration Utility," in the Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User's Guide for detailed instructions on using the Resource Configuration Utility and saving new information. If after using the Resource Configuration Utility you have not resolved the problem, see Chapter 5, "Running the Dell Diagnostics." Checking the Basics 2-7

If you are experiencing problems with the system, you may have a conflict between
the information stored by the System Setup program and the Resource Configuration
Utility. Although the Resource Configuration Utility can read changes from the System
Setup program, changes are not recorded into configuration memory until you run the
Resource Configuration Utility and save the new information. See Chapter 5, “Using
the Resource Configuration Utility,” in the
Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User’s Guide
for detailed instructions on using the Resource Configuration Utility and saving new
information.
If after using the Resource Configuration Utility you have not resolved the problem,
