1. Run the Configuration/Setup Utility program and record the current configuration settings. See "The Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 20. 2. Set jumpers or switches on the server components. See "Jumper settings" on page 125 and "I/O function card jumpers" on page 121. 3. Set jumpers or switches on the device. See the instructions that come with the adapter. 4. Install the adapter in the server. See "Adapters" on page 43. 5. Install software programs. See the installation instructions that come with the software. 6. Resolve configuration conflicts. See "Resolving configuration conflicts." Resolving configuration conflicts The resources used by the server consist of interrupt requests, direct memory access (DMA), I/O ports addresses, and memory. This information is useful when a resource configuration conflict occurs. Conflicts in the configuration occur if: A device is installed that requires the same resource as another device. (For example, a conflict occurs when two adapters try to write to the same address space.) A device resource is changed (for example, changing jumper settings). A device function is changed (for example, assigning COM1 to two serial ports). A software program is installed that requires the same resource as a hardware device. The steps required to resolve a configuration error are determined by the number and variety of hardware devices and software programs that you install. If a hardware configuration error is detected, a configuration error message appears after the server completes POST and before the operating system is loaded. You can bypass the error by pressing Esc while the error message is displayed. 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 35 for additional information.

Resolving configuration conflicts
The resources used by the server consist of interrupt
requests, direct memory access (DMA), I/O ports
addresses, and memory.
This information is useful when a
resource configuration conflict occurs.
Conflicts in the configuration occur if:
±
A device is installed that requires the same resource
as another device.
(For example, a conflict occurs
when two adapters try to write to the same address
space.)
±
A device resource is changed (for example, changing
jumper settings).
±
A device function is changed (for example, assigning
COM1
to two serial ports).
±
A software program is installed that requires the same
resource as a hardware device.
The steps required to resolve a configuration error are
determined by the number and variety of hardware devices
and software programs that you install.
If a hardware
configuration error is detected, a
configuration error
message appears after the server completes POST and
before the operating system is loaded.
You can bypass
the error by pressing
Esc
while the error message is
displayed.
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
35 for additional
information.
