Configuration Conflicts
Configuration Conflicts
The resources used by a server consist of interrupt request
levels (IRQs), direct memory access channels (DMAs), I/O ports (for
example, serial and parallel), 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, if you install an ISA network adapter and an EISA
network adapter, both requesting IRQ 5 , only one of the adapters
can be configured.)
- A device resource is changed (for example, changing jumper settings).
- A device function is changed (for example, assigning COM 1
to two different serial ports).
- An installed software program requires the same resource as a hardware
device (for example, an expanded memory specification (EMS) device driver
that uses the address required by the SVGA video adapter).
The steps required to resolve a configuration error are determined
by the number and variety of hardware devices and software
programs install in the system.
The following information for resolving these types of conflicts are
divided by machine type and model number.
