Serial Port:	■	Disabled	[Enabled]	Configures the serial port using either no configuration (Disabled),
	■	Enabled		a user defined configuration (Enabled), or by allowing the BIOS or
	■	Auto		OS to choose the configuration (Auto).
Base I/O Address/IRQ:	■	3F8/IRQ 4	[3F8/IRQ 4]	Allows user to set the serial port base I/O address and interrupt
	■	2F8/IRQ 3		request when serial port is Enabled.
	■	3E8/IRQ 4
	■	2E8/IRQ 3
Infrared Port:	■	Disabled	[Enabled]	Configures the infrared port using either no configuration (Dis-
	■	Enabled		abled), a user defined configuration (Enabled), or by allowing the
	■	Auto		BIOS or OS to choose the configuration (Auto).
Mode:	■	IrDA	[FIR]	When the infrared port is enabled this option is available allowing
	■	FIR		the user to set the mode for the infrared port.
Base I/O Address/IRQ:	■	3F8/IRQ 4	[2E8/IRQ 3]	Allows user to set the infrared port I/O address and interrupt
	■	2F8/IRQ 3		request when the infrared port is Enabled.
	■	3E8/IRQ 4
	■	2E8/IRQ 3
DMA Channel:	■	DMA 1	[DMA 3]	Allows user to set the infrared port DMA Channel when the infra-
	■	DMA 3		red port is Enabled.
Parallel Port:	■	Disabled	[Enabled]	Configures the parallel port using either no configuration (Dis-

	■	ECP		way transfer of information between your notebook and a con-
				nected parallel device. Output Only (Half Duplex) allows informa-
				tion to be transferred in only one direction, from your notebook to
				the printer or similar device. ECP Mode allows communication
				with the ECP class of parallel I/O devices.
Base I/O address:	■	378	[378	Allows user to set the parallel port base I/O address when the par-
	■	278		allel port is Enabled.
	■	3BC
Interrupt:	■	IRQ 5	[IRQ 7]	Allows user to set the parallel port interrupt when the parallel port
