0If you have installed three additional parallel ports and you do not want to use the built-in port, select Disable.

Note

Be sure to also set any jumpers on the card(s) you install to indicate how you want the port to be recognized (LPTl, LPT2, or LPT3).

Setting the Serial Interface

The built-in serial port in your computer is set to act as the primary port (COMl). If you install an option card that provides an additional serial interface, that port automatically becomes a secondary port (COM2). However, if you want the secondary port to act as the primary, you need to select COM2 for the built-in port.

If you install a card (or cards) that provide two additional serial ports and you want them to act as the primary and secondary ports, you need to select Disab1e for the built-in port.

Note

Be sure to also set any jumper (s) on the card(s) you install to indicate whether you want the port(s) to be primary or secondary.

Setting the Disk Drive Controllers

If you are using the standard drives that came with your computer’ the hard disk drive controller (HDC) and diskette drive controller (FDC) should be set to Enab1e .

However, if you install an option card that provides a controller for a diskette drive or hard disk drive, you need to disable the built-in controller.
