  • Page 41: Adapter Conflicts

    Adapter Conflicts The adapters you choose may conflict in memory address range, interrupt level or DMA channel. Conflicting Memory Addresses When adapters conflict due to identical or overlapping memory addresses, first try to resolve the conflict by changing address jumper modules on the adapters. If this action does not resolve the conflict, ensure that applicable software enables only one adapter at a time for memory address operations.

  • Page 42: Conflicting Dma Channels

    Conflicting DMA Channels DMA channel conflicts can usually be resolved by changing DMA jumper modules on the applicable adapter. If the conflict is not resolved, one of the conflicting adapters must be deleted from your system. Refer to the Interrupt and DMA Usage Chart on page 1-21 and 1-22 to plan your system configuration.
