Serial Port 2 IR Mode: Enables/disables the onboard IR controller, if your system came configured with the IrDA (Infrared Data Association ) feature. If your computer did not come with the IrDA feature, this field should always be set to Disabled.

Your computer can support either serial port 2 or the onboard IrDA controller, but not both at the same time. If Serial Port 2 IR Mode is enabled, serial port 2 will be automatically disabled. However, the BIOS field will not be updated to reflect this.

If you are attaching an infrared device, such as a remote control, to the serial port, DO NOT enable Serial Port 2 IR Mode: this field is for the onboard IrDA controller ONLY. If you enable Serial Port 2 IR Mode, you will actually be disabling the serial port you are trying to attach to.
