System resource specifications
Use Device Manager to get a graphical view of the system resources that control how the devices
work on the computer. System resources accessible Device Manager are direct memory access
(DMA) channels, input/output (I/O) ports, interrupt request (IRQ) lines, and memory addresses.
If two devices require the same resource and create a device conflict, manually change the resource
settings in Device Manager to be sure each setting is unique.
CAUTION: Improperly changing resource settings can disable the hardware and cause the
computer to malfunction or become inoperable. Only users who have expert knowledge of computer
hardware and hardware configurations should change resource settings.
