error code 12

The RAID is not fully operational.  It seems that when more resources are being plugged in, that the device no longer has enough resources to allocate memory for the NI RAID.  Removing the software on PXIe-1 allowed the system to recognize the device again, and allocate memory for the device.  It was operational for a little while, but after plugging in other devices to the test cart, then a reboot, the NI RAID cannot be allocated again.  There is the possibility

 

This is the exact error;

 

RocketRAID 231x SATA Controller      PCI\VEN_1103&DEV_2310&SUBSYS_11AB11AB&REV_02\8&332CAFF4&0&006000400008 

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use.

It looks like you are running into hardware limitations, but here is a troubleshooting tidbit from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310123

 

Code 12

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)

Cause

This error can occur if two devices that are installed on your computer have been assigned the same I/O ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access channel (either by the BIOS, the operating system, or both). This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device. 

Recommended resolution

You can use the Troubleshooting Wizard in Device Manager to determine where the conflict is, and then disable the conflicting device. 

Disable the conflicting device

  1. On the device Properties dialog box, click the General tab.
  2. Click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard. The wizard asks you some simple questions and provides a solution to your problem based on the answers that you provide.
  3. Follow the resolution steps provided by the wizard to resolve the problem.

The problem that I have though, is that both devices are needed at the same time.  Is there any other solution besides disabling the conflicting device and only using one at a time?
