The Configuration/Setup Utility program configures the system hardware and PCI IRQs. The program does not consider the requirements of the operating system or the application programs. See "Resolving software configuration conflicts" on page 34 for additional information. 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 installed options. Record the current settings before making any changes. (See "Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 21 for instructions.) 2. Determine which adapter or device is causing the conflict. 3. Change adapter jumpers or switches. Some devices use jumpers and switches to define the system resources that the devices need. 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. 4. Remove the device or adapter. Some configurations are not supported. If you must remove an adapter, see "Adapters" on page 161. 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 the system board functions.
