Onboard Parallel PortThis field sets the address of the onboard parallel port connector. You can select either: 3BCH / IRQ 7, 378H / IRQ 7 (default), 278H / IRQ 5, Disabled. If you install an I/O card with a parallel port, ensure that there is no conflict in the address assign- ments. The PC can support up to three parallel ports as long as there are no conflicts for each port.
Parallel Port ModeThis field allows you to set the operation mode of the parallel port. The setting Normal, allows
This selection is available only if you select ECP or ECP+EPP in the Parallel Port Mode. Select either DMA Channel 1, 3 (default), or Disabled.
UART2 Use InfraredWhen enabled, this field activates the onboard infrared feature and sets the second serial UART to support the infrared module connector on the motherboard. If your system already has a second serial port connected to the onboard COM2 connector, it will no longer work if you enable the infrared feature. By default, this field is set to Disabled, which leaves the second serial port UART to support the COM2 serial port connector. See section III for
You can select to enable the Primary IDE channel, Secondary IDE channel, Both (default), or Disable both channels (for systems with only SCSI drives).
IDE 0 Master/Slave Mode, IDE 1 Master/Slave ModeEach channel (0 and 1) has both a master and a slave making four IDE devices possible. Because each IDE device may have a different Mode timing (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), it is necessary for these to be independent. The default setting of Auto will allow autodetection to ensure optimal performance.
