Configuration Manager Messages
The Configuration Manager for the ICU identifies problems following system boot and generates messages if necessary. These messages alert
you to any unsuccessful attempts to configure Plug and Play or Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion cards, as well as any
problems that interfere with the operation of the Configuration Manager. If you receive a message from the Configuration Manager, see the
following table for suggestions on resolving any problems indicated by the message.
4. Copy the configuration file from the original
ICU diskette to the backup diskette.
This is an EISA system. Use an
ECU, not the ICU, to configure
your system. This message appears if you
attempt to run the ICU on an EISA
system. To use the ICU, you must load the utility onto a non-EISA
system.
You have added a card using
settings different from factory
default. Reconfigure the card to
the settings in the next display
(see the card's manual) before
installing it. This message can appear in two
situations:
l You added an ISA expansion
card, selected OK, and the
ICU had to use resource
values different from the card's
defaults to avoid conflicts.
l You added an ISA expansion
card, selected Advanced, and
chose resource values
different from the card's
defaults.
Make note of the new card configuration shown in the
Card Resource Usage dialog box displayed after this
message. Change jumper settings on the ISA expansion
card to match the new card configuration.
NOTE: For the full name of an abbreviation or acronym used in this table, see the Glossary in the online System User's Guide.
