conflict occurs, and the device will remain deactivated by the configuration program. 4. Change system board jumpers or switches. Then, refer to the system board diagram inside the server. 5. Remove the device or adapter. Some configurations are not supported. If you must remove an adapter, see "Installing or removing ISA and PCI adapters" on page 62. Software configuration conflicts : The Configuration/Setup utility might change the memory-address space used by some hardware options. If this happens, the new memory-address space and IRQs used by some hardware options might conflict with addresses defined for use through application programs. 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 that a memory-address conflict exists. Note Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program to view the addresses that are used by the system board functions. The best way to resolve memory-address conflicts is to change the addresses that are used by the application program or the device driver. You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to view and change addresses. Configuration/Setup utility program For most configurations, the server will operate using the default system settings. You need to change the settings only to resolve configuration conflicts or to enable or change device functions. When you want or need to change the default settings, the Configuration/Setup Utility program provides a convenient way to display and change the settings. After you run and exit the Configuration/Setup Utility program, configuration information is stored in electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). While the server is powered off, the configuration information remains available for the next system startup. Always run the Configuration/Setup Utility program if you receive an error message instructing you to do so. If you installed or removed SCSI devices, run the SCSISelect IBM Netfinity 3000 - Type 8476 21

Software configuration conflicts
:
The Configuration/Setup utility might change the
memory-address space used by some hardware options.
If this happens, the new memory-address space and IRQs
used by some hardware options might conflict with
addresses defined for use through application programs.
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 that a memory-address
conflict exists.
Note
Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program to view
the addresses that are used by the system board
functions.
The best way to resolve memory-address conflicts is to
change the addresses that are used by the application
program or the device driver.
You can use the
