Fan

the system board connector and is functioning. Otherwise, displays Not Installed.

(Auto default)

integrated IDE controller is enabled if IDE devices are attached to the channel.

 

 

Diskette Controller

Enables or disables the system's diskette drive controller. When Auto is selected,

(Auto default)

the system turns off the controller when necessary to accommodate a controller

 

card installed in an expansion slot. You can also configure the drive as Read-Only,

 

or Off. When using the Read-Onlysetting, the drive cannot be used to write to a

 

disk.

MAC Address

Displays the MAC address for the integrated 10/100/1000 NIC. This field does not

 

have user-selectable settings.

 

 

Serial Port 1

Serial port options are COM1, COM3, Auto, and Off.

(Auto default)

When the serial port is set to Auto, the integrated port automatically attempts to

 

 

use COM1 first, and then COM3. If both addresses are in use, the port is disabled.

 

If you set the serial port to Auto and add an expansion card with a port configured

 

to the same designation, the system automatically remaps the integrated port to

 

the next available port designation that shares the same IRQ setting.

 

 

Parallel Port

Selects the address for the parallel port. Options are 378h, 278h, 3BCh, and Off.

(378h default)

The system automatically disables the built-in parallel port if an expansion card

 

 

containing a parallel port at the same address is detected.

 

 

Parallel Port Mode

Sets the parallel port mode of operation between AT mode and PS/2 mode. In AT

(PS2 default)

mode, the integrated parallel port can output data only to an attached device. In

 

PS/2 mode, the built-in parallel port can both input and output data.
