Starting The System Configuration Utility - Compaq ProLiant 800 Manual

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The System Configuration Utility reads the option configuration .CFG files to
determine any resource conflicts, such as two devices requiring the same
hardware interrupt. If the system identifies a conflict, the software then
rechecks all the expansion board specifications to determine if settings for a
previously read board can be changed to automatically resolve the conflict
between the two boards.
NOTE : The Compaq ProLiant 800 employs a system architecture with expansion
slots that must share system resources with two of the ProLiant 800's embedded
system devices. A PCI expansion board in slot 3 must share an interrupt with the
embedded PCI Network Interface card, and similarly, a PCI expansion board in slot
4 must share an interrupt with the embedded PCI SCSI-2 Controller. If interrupt
resources are changed by the user using the System Configuration Utility for one of
the shared devices, then both devices will be changed.
