Configuration Manager Messages - Dell OptiPlex GX1 Installation Manual

This is an EISA system. Use an
ECU, not the ICU, to configure

You have added a card using
settings different from factory
default. Reconfigure the card to
the settings in the next display

installing it.

Configuration Manager Messages

The Configuration Manager for the ICU identifies problems following system boot and generates messages if necessary. These messages alert
you to any unsuccessful attempts to configure Plug and Play or Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion cards, as well as any
problems that interfere with the operation of the Configuration Manager. If you receive a message from the Configuration Manager, see the
following table for suggestions on resolving any problems indicated by the message.

Plug and Play ISA expansion
cards.

ICU diskette to the backup diskette.
To use the ICU, you must load the utility onto a non-EISA

message. Change jumper settings on the ISA expansion
card to match the new card configuration.
