Serial/Parallel Port Configurations Submenu of the Advanced Menu
The Serial/Parallel Port Configurations submenu allows you to set the I/O addresses and interrupt levels for the serial, touch panel, and parallel ports of your notebook.
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.
•To prevent IRQ and address conflicts, avoid changing the default settings. If you must change the settings, you can call
•The BIOS will warn you of a resource conflict by placing a yellow asterisk next to each device that is in conflict.
All I/O addresses in Table 4 are in hexadecimal.
