Troubleshooting

223

CAUTION:

You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as

authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not
authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety
instructions that came with the product.

If the problem is not resolved by replacing the battery, see "Getting Help"

on page 241.

NOTE:

Some software may cause the system time to speed up or slow down. If the

system seems to operate normally except for the time kept in the System Setup

program, the problem may be caused by software rather than by a defective

battery.

IRQ Assignment Conflicts

Most PCI devices can share an IRQ with another device, but they cannot use

an IRQ simultaneously. To avoid this type of conflict, see the documentation

for each PCI device for specific IRQ requirements.

PCI IRQ pool definition is the BIOS code assigned at run time.
