Onboard LAN Boot ROM, Onboard Serial Port | Intel GA-945PL-S3G

When LAN Cable Is Functioning Normally...

If no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable connected to a Gigabit hub or a 10/100 Mbps hub, the following message will appear:

Start detecting at Port.....

Link Detected --> 100Mbps

Cable Length= 30m

Link Detected	Displays transmission speed
Cable Length	Displays the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.

Note: The Gigabit hub will only operate at a speed of 10/100Mbps in MS-DOS mode; it will operate at a normal speed of 10/100/1000Mbps in Windows mode or when the LAN Boot ROM is activated.

When a Cable Problem Occurs...

If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the Status field will show Short and thenlength shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short.

Example: Pair1-2 Status = Short / Length = 1.6m

Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 1.6m on Pair 1-2.

Note: Pair 4-5 and Pair 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their Status fields will show Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.

Onboard LAN Boot ROM

Allows you to decide whether to activate the boot ROM integrated with the onboard LAN chip. (Default: Disabled)

Onboard Serial Port 1

Enables or disables the first serial port and specifies its base I/O address and corresponding interrupt. Options are: Auto, 3F8/IRQ4 (default), 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3, Disabled.

Onboard Parallel Port

Enables or disables the onboard parallel port (LPT) and specifies its base I/O address and corresponding interrupt. Options are: 378/IRQ7 (default), 278/IRQ5, 3BC/IRQ7, Disabled.

Parallel Port Mode

Selects an operating mode for the onboard parallel (LPT) port. Options are: SPP (Standard Parallel Port)(default), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP (Extended Capabilities Port), ECP+EPP.

ECP Mode Use DMA

Selects DMA channel for the LPT port in ECP mode. This item is configurable only if Parallel Port Mode is set to ECP or ECP+EPP mode. Options are: 3 (default), 1.
