Resolving Resource Conflicts
The RCU automatically resolves resource conflicts between two PCI expansion cards. It is extremely unusual for the RCU to fail in resolving a
resource conflict between two PCI expansion cards. If the RCU fails to resolve the conflict, see "Getting Help" in your Installation and
Troubleshooting Guide for information on obtaining technical assistance. If the Set verification mode menu category is set to Automatic, the
RCU tries to resolve the conflict. If the utility cannot resolve the conflict, some devices installed in the system are deactivated and the following
message is displayed:
Caution
The last board added caused an un-resolvable conflict in your computer's configuration. This board
has a 'De-activated' status. You must remove this board or the one(s) it is in conflict with in
order to save a correct configuration.
If the caution message appears, press <Enter> to display a list of all cards installed in your computer. The deactivated card is enclosed by < >
symbols.
You can remove the card(s) with which it is in conflict, or change the resources on one or more cards.
If you remove the card(s) with which the new card is in conflict, or if you want to change the resources of one or more cards, use the procedure
described in the next subsection.
To unlock a card, perform the following steps:
1. Press <F7> in the Step 3: View or edit details menu (from the Steps in configuring your computer menu).
2. Click Lock/unlock boards and press <Enter>.
3. Select the card(s) you want to unlock, and press <Enter>.
4. Press <F10> to exit the Advanced menu.
