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. If there is a conflict, 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 conflict exists. You can resolve conflicts by changing either the software or the hardware configuration. Notes A corrupt CMOS can cause the operating system to crash after the operating system boots. (See "Printing and Restoring CMOS Default Settings" on page 43.) Use the Change Configuration Settings selection in the System Configuration Utility program to view the addresses used by the system-board functions and adapters. (See "Step 3: Change Configuration Settings" on page 48.) If a device driver is causing a memory-address conflict, refer to the operating-system documentation or the documentation supplied with the device drivers. SCSISelect Utility Program Note If a RAID adapter is installed in the server use the Configuration diskettes that come with the RAID adapter to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices. The server comes with a menu-driven configuration utility program called SCSISelect that allows you to view and change SCSI settings. You can use the SCSISelect Utility program to: View and change the default values Verify and change configuration conflicts Perform a low-level format on a SCSI hard disk Starting the SCSISelect Utility Program: You can access this program when you start the server. The SCSISelect prompt appears after the Netfinity 7000 screen appears briefly and then disappears. Press Ctrl+A immediately after the SCSISelect prompt appears. 34 Netfinity Server HMM
