Overview ICU Error Messages Configuration Manager Messages
Overview
The ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) and its Configuration Manager are capable of identifying problems and alerting you to them. Both
utilities can alert you to problems with card configuration as well as problems that prevent proper operation of the utility. This
appendix describes each type of message and lists the possible causes and actions you can take to resolve any problems indicated
by a message. See the following tables to locate your message and identify any possible corrective actions.
ICU Error Messages
The ICU can display a variety of error messages while in operation. These messages alert you to problems that prevent the ICU
from running correctly, as well as informing you of resource conflicts that prevent the configuration of various cards in your
computer. If you receive a message from the ICU, see Table C-1 for suggestions on resolving any problems indicated by the
message.
