Setting the Built-in Interfaces

This option lets you define how the following built-in interfaces in your computer operate:

0Parallel port (LPT1 , LPT2, LPT3)

0Serial port (COMl or COM2)

Cl Hard disk drive controller (HDC) Cl Floppy disk drive controller (FDC).

Read the following descriptions to make sure the settings are correct.

Setting the Parallel Interface

The built-in parallel port in your computer is set to act as the primary port (LPTl). If you install an option card that provides an additional parallel interface’ you may need to select LPT2 or LPT3 for the built-in port. Follow these guidelines:

0If you are using only the built-in port, select LP T 1 . Also select LPTl if you have installed an additional port but want to keep the built-in port the primary adapter.

LI If you have installed an additional port that is pre-set to act as the primary port or one that you want to be the primary port, select LPT2 . For example, if you have installed an IBM monochrome adapter/parallel interface card, the parallel port on the card must be the primary adapter and you need to select LPT2 for the built-in port.

DIf you have installed two additional parallel ports and you want them to be the primary and secondary ports, select

LPT3.
