The System Setup Program; The Eisa Configuration Utility - Dell OptiPlex N Troubleshooting Manual

T
he System Setup Program
You can easily correct certain system problems by verify-
ing the correct settings in the System Setup program.
When you boot your system, your system checks the sys-
tem configuration information and compares it with the
current hardware configuration. If your system hardware
configuration doesn't match the information recorded by
the System Setup program, an error message may appear
on your screen.
This problem can happen if you changed your system's
hardware configuration and forgot to run the System
Setup program. To correct this problem, enter the System
Setup program, correct the corresponding System Setup
program category, and reboot your system. See your sys-
tem documentation for detailed instructions on using the
System Setup program.
If after checking the settings in the System Setup pro-
gram you have not resolved the problem, determine
whether you have an EISA system. If you have an EISA
system, see "The EISA Configuration Utility" found next
in this chapter. If you do not have an EISA system, see
Chapter 4, "Running the Dell Diagnostics."

T
he EISA Configuration Utility
If you have a system that can use EISA expansion cards,
and if you are experiencing problems with your system,
you may have a conflict between the information stored
by the System Setup program and the EISA Configura-
tion Utility. Although the EISA Configuration Utility can
read changes from the System Setup program, the change
is not recorded into EISA configuration memory until
you run the EISA Configuration Utility and save the new
information. See your system documentation for detailed
instructions on using the EISA Configuration Utility and
saving new information.
If after using the EISA Configuration Utility you have
not resolved the problem, see Chapter 4, "Running the
Dell Diagnostics."
