PCI IDE Interface
When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to enable the PCI IDE hard disk interface. The options are
Enabled and Disabled. The default is Enabled. (If Configuration Mode is set to Auto, this option cannot be modified.)
Floppy Interface
When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to enable the diskette drive interface. The options are
Enabled and Disabled. The default is Enabled. (If Configuration Mode is set to Auto, this option cannot be modified.)
Serial Port 1 Address
When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to select the address of the serial port. The options are
Disabled; COM1, 3F8h; COM2, 2F8h; COM3, 3E8h; and COM4, 2E8h. The default is COM1, 3F8h. If the
Configuration Mode is set to Auto, the Setup program assigns the first free COM port (normally COM1, 3F8h) as the
serial port 1 address, regardless of what is selected under the Serial Port 1 Address option. (If Configuration Mode is
set to Auto, this option cannot be modified.)
If either serial port address is set, the address it is set to will not appear in the options of the other serial port.
Serial Port 2 Address
When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to select the address of the serial port. The options are
Disabled; COM1, 3F8h; COM2, 2F8h; COM3, 3E8h; and COM4, 2E8h. The default is COM2, 2F8h. If the
Configuration Mode is set to Auto, the Setup program assigns the first free COM port (normally COM2, 2F8h) as the
serial port 2 address, regardless of what is selected under the Serial Port 2 Address option. (If Configuration Mode is
set to Auto, this option cannot be modified.)
If either serial port address is set, the address it is set to will not appear in the options of the other serial port.
Serial Port 2 IR Mode
When selected, this dedicates Serial Port 2 for infrared applications. Serial Port 2 also can be enabled with software
from application programs. This option is only available when the Configuration Mode is set to Manual.
Parallel Port Address
When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to select the address of the parallel port. The options are
Disabled; LPT3, 3bch, IRQ7; LPT1, 378h, IRQ7; LPT1, 378h, IRQ5, and LPT2, 278h, IRQ5. The default is
LPT1, 378h. If the Configuration Mode is set to Auto, the setup program assigns LPT1, 378h, IRQ7 as the parallel port
address, regardless of what is selected under the Parallel Port Address option. (If Configuration Mode is set to Auto,
this option cannot be modified.)
Parallel Port Mode
When selected, this brings up a dialog box that allows you to select the mode for the parallel port. The options are
Compatible, Bi-directional, ECP or EPP. The default is Compatible. Compatible means the parallel port will operate in
AT-compatible output mode. Bi-directional means the parallel port will operate in bi-directional PS/2-compatible
mode. EPP/ECP means the parallel port will operate in either ECP or EPP compatible mode, which is the most
advanced mode at which the chipset will operate.
Serial Port 1 IRQ
This reports the IRQ number for serial port 1. This is informational only, and there are no options. If the Serial Port 1
Address field is set to Disabled, this field will not be visible.
