Setting the Built-in interfaces

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

Cl Parallel port (LPTl, LPT2, LPT3)

0 Serial port (COMl or COM2)

0Hard disk drive controller (HDC)

0Floppy disk drive controller (FDC).

S e t t i n g t h e P a r a l l e l l n t e r f a c e

The built-in parallel port 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 LPTl. Also select LPTl if you have installed an additional port but want to keep the built-in port the primary adapter.

Cl 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 LPTE. 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.

0If you have installed two additional parallel ports and want them to be primary and secondary, select LPT3.

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 set any jumpers on the card(s) to indicate how you want the port to be recognized (LITI, LPI2, or LPT3).
