and the installed options. Record the current settings before making any changes. (See "The Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 20 for instructions.) 2. Determine which adapter or device is causing the conflict. (See "Symptom-to-FRU index" on page 166 for instructions.) 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. Change system jumpers or switches. See "Jumper settings" on page 125. 5. Remove the device or adapter. Some configurations are not supported. If you must remove an adapter, see "Adapters" on page 43. 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 server functions. (See "The Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 20 for instructions.) 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 the operating-system documentation or the documentation that comes with the device drivers. Netfinity 8500R - Type 8681 35
