| Out of memory Memory allocation failed |
Either of these messages can appear if the system runs out
of memory during operation of the utility. |
Disable any TSR programs or any unneeded device drivers. |
| Not enough memory to run the ICU |
This message appears when you start the ICU if the system
does not have enough memory to run the utility. |
Disable any TSR programs or any unneeded device drivers. |
| Can't open index file. This file is
required for ICU to run. |
The ICU cannot find the index file for its database. |
Make sure to switch to drive A before attempting to start
the utility. |
| No Configuration Manager. |
The device driver needed by the ICU is corrupted or is not
correctly configured. |
Verify that the following device statement
appears in your config.sys file:
device=drive:\directory\
drivers\dos\dwcfgmg.sys
In this statement, drive and directory represent the drive and directory
where the driver resides. The default is c:\plugplay. |
At least one Plug and Play card in your
system is not configured due to conflicts. These are marked "config err" in the
list of configured cards.
Due to conflicts, the ICU could only configure some Plug and Play cards in your system.
Unconfigured cards are marked "config err" in the list of configured cards. |
The Configuration Manager or the ICU
cannot configure at least one Plug and Play expansion card because of resource conflicts
with one or more cards. |
You must reconfigure the conflicting
card(s). To find the conflicting card, perform the following steps:
- Select the Plug and Play expansion card marked with config err, and then click the Modify button.
The Card Configuration dialog box displays the functions assigned to the Plug and Play
expansion card.
- Select a function and then click Settings. Click Cancel if the ICU does not display a
message naming the conflicting card.
- Repeat step 2 until the ICU displays a message box naming the conflicting card and the
resource(s) in conflict. See the following table entry for an explanation of this message
box.
|
| This device is unconfigurable because
of a resource conflict with card card_name. The conflicting resource is resource_name. To fix, reconfigure the conflicting card. |
The selected card is unconfigurable
because one of its resources is already being used by another device. |
Perform the following procedure:
- Make a note of the card name and the type of conflicting resource.
- Follow the procedure in "Modifying
a Card" and change the value for resource_name used by card_name.
|
| The ICU has successfully configured all
Plug and Play cards in your system. For the new configuration to take effect, save the
configuration, then reboot your system. |
The ICU has successfully configured all of the Plug and Play
expansion cards that were not configured by the Configuration Manager. |
To accept these settings, save the configuration information
into NVRAM by selecting Exit from the File menu and then selecting Yes to save. You must
reboot your system for these settings to take effect. |
| The loaded card is not a category card.
Press OK to proceed. |
The category you have chosen is not the correct category
under which to add this card. |
Select OK. The ICU automatically opens the correct
category's dialog box. Continue the procedure for adding the card as described in "Adding a Listed Card" or "Adding an Unlisted Card." |
No more DMA values can be added.
No more interrupt values can be added.
No more memory values can be added.
No more I/O port values can be added. |
No more values are available for the resource you are trying
to add or modify. |
The maximum number of values for each resource is as
follows:
- 4 DMA channels
- 7 IRQ lines
- 9 memory address blocks
- 20 I/O ports
To free values for the resource you are trying to add or modify, delete some of the
values listed in the resource box for the card. If your card requires all of the values
listed, contact your card manufacturer to resolve the issue. |
| The ICU detects a resource conflict
between this card and conflicting_card. The conflicting resource was: resource. |
You added or modified a card that now requires a resource value already in use by conflicting_card. |
Try each of the following options until the problem is
resolved:
- Modify the card you are adding so that it uses a different value for resource. See "Modifying
a Card" for instructions.
- Modify
conflicting_card so
that it uses a different value for resource. See "Modifying a Card" for instructions.
If conflicting_card is
not the system board, remove it from the computer. See "Removing a Card" for instructions.
Remove all expansion cards from the ICU, and then add them back one at a time, beginning
with the new card and resolving resource conflicts as they arise. See "Removing a Card" and "Adding a Listed Card" or "Adding an Unlisted Card" for
instructions.
If you cannot resolve the resource conflict by any of the preceding methods, remove the
new card. If you were modifying an existing card, reset the modified card to its previous
resource value.
|
The configuration (.cfg) file used by
the ICU for this card is now invalid or does not exist. Do you wish to load the file?
No configuration (.cfg) file exists for the card being modified. Do you want to load one? |
This message appears when you try to add
a listed card and the configuration file for this card has been corrupted or deleted from
the database.
This message appears when you modify a card and its configuration file does not exist or
has been deleted. |
Use the following procedure:
- Insert the original ICU diskette into the diskette drive.
You can create an ISA Configuration Utility diskette from the Dell ResourceCD.
See " Preparing
to Use the ICU."
- Change to the db subdirectory on the diskette drive.
For example, type cd a:\db.
- Use a text editor to search the icu.ndx file for the card ID of the card you want to add
or modify.
The card ID forms part of the name of the configuration file. For example, if the card ID
is ICU0200, the configuration file is !icu0200.cfg.
- Copy the configuration file from the original ICU diskette to the backup diskette.
|
| This is an EISA system. Use an ECU, not
the ICU, to configure your system. |
This message appears if you attempt to
run the ICU on an EISA system. |
To use the ICU, you must load the utility
onto a non-EISA system. |
| You have added a card using settings
different from factory default. Reconfigure the card to the settings in the next display
(see the card's manual) before installing it. |
This message can appear in two
situations:
- You added an ISA expansion card, selected OK, and the ICU had to use
resource values different from the card's defaults to avoid conflicts.
- You added an ISA expansion card, selected Advanced, and chose
resource values different from the card's defaults.
|
Make note of the new card configuration
shown in the Card Resource Usage dialog box displayed after this message. Change jumper
settings on the ISA expansion card to match the new card configuration. |

System User's Guide. |
