CAUTION n P O I N TS n To prevent IRQ and address conflicts, avoid changing the default settings. If you must change the settings, you can call 1-800-8FUJITSU for technical assistance. The BIOS will warn you of a resource conflict by placing a yellow asterisk next to each device that is in conflict. All I/O addresses in Table 5 are in hexadecimal. I/O addresses, DMA channels, and Interrupt levels can be entered in various ways, including via the BIOS setup utility, the control software for the I/O device, or the hardware. If any two ports or devices have the same I/O address assigned, your notebook will not function normally.
