Resolving Configuration Conflicts - Netfinity 5600 - Type 8664

Resolving Configuration Conflicts

The resources used by the server consist of interrupt requests, direct memory access, 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 System Configuration 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' for additional information.
