Serial/Parallel Port Configurations Submenu of the Advanced Menu

The Serial/Parallel Port Configurations submenu provides the ability to set the I/O addresses and interrupt levels for the serial, infrared and parallel ports of your notebook.

C A U T I O N

I/O addresses, DMA channels and Interrupt levels can be entered in various ways, including via the BIOS setup utility, the control software for the I/O device, or the hardware. If any two ports or devices, serial or parallel, have the same I/O address assigned, your notebook will not function normally. Please keep a record of original settings before making any changes in the event that a restoration is required. See your hardware and software documentation as well as the setup utility to determine settings, limitations, etc.

P O I N T S

To prevent IRQ and address conflicts, avoid changing the default settings. If you must change the settings, you can call 1-800-8FUJITSU for technical assistance.

The BIOS will warn you of a resource conflict by plac- ing a yellow asterisk next to each device that is in conflict.

All I/O addresses in Table 4 are in hexadecimal.
