PCI installation problems
Check the following:
• Some drivers might require interrupts that are not shared with
other PCI drivers. The SSU can be used to adjust the interrupt
numbers for PCI devices. For certain drivers, it might be necessary
to alter settings so that interrupts are not shared.
• Check PCI interrupt interdependencies among slots and onboard
devices.
Problems with application software
If you have problems with application software, do the following:
• Verify that the software is properly configured for the system. See
the software installation and operation documentation for
instructions on setting up and using the software.
