Resolving Software Configuration, Conflicts

Page 59 highlights

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 or the expanded memory specification (EMS). (EMS is used only with DOS.) 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 a conflict exists. To resolve conflicts, you can change the software or hardware configuration. Note Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program to view the addresses used by your system board functions. The best way to resolve memory-address conflicts is to change the addresses used by the application program or the device driver. You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to change addresses. If a device driver is causing a memory-address conflict, refer to your operating-system documentation or the documentation supplied with the device drivers. Netfinity 5000 - Type 8659 51

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 or the
expanded memory specification (EMS).
(EMS is used only
with DOS.)
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 a conflict exists.
To resolve conflicts, you can change the software or
hardware configuration.
Note
Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program to view
the addresses used by your system board functions.
The best way to resolve memory-address conflicts is to
change the addresses used by the application program or
the device driver.
You can use the Configuration/Setup
Utility program to change addresses.
If a device driver is causing a memory-address conflict,
refer to your operating-system documentation or the
documentation supplied with the device drivers.
