Devices and I/O Ports

Software recognizes ports from their port assignments. Each port must unique port assignment. The Configuration/Setup Utility program normally ha this, but you might have special hardware or software that require these assignments.

Note: Serial port A can be shared by the system-management processor operating system. Serial port B is used by the operating syste Management port C is controlled exclusively by the system-managemen processor, cannot be used by the operating system, and cannot configured using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See the “Advanced System Management Information” sectionServerof Librarythis

for information about configuring serial ports A and C.

Select theDevices and I/O Ports choice to view or change the assignments f devices and input/output ports.

You can add serial ports by installing a serial adapter in an expan the documentation that comes with the serial adapter for information assignments.

You can configure the parallel port as standard, as bidirectional, a

Capabilities	Port (ECP),		or	as	an	Enhanced	Parallel Port		(EPP).	Bidirection
ECP, and EPP	are	all bidirectional				modes;	in all	three	modes,	data can
read from	and	written	to	a	device. ECP		and EPP	are	industry-standard,

high-performance bidirectional modes. Which one of these modes you c

depends	on	what		mode	your	device	supports.
Note:	When		you	configure		the parallel		port as	bidirectional,	ECP,	or
IEEE		1284-compliant			cable. The		maximum	length	of the cable	must	not
exceed			3	meters	(9.8 feet).

You can configure the mouse and diskette controller as enabled or d configure the type of diskette drive.

You can view the type of video controller and the amount of video installed.
