The system board is equipped with three onboard serial ports
(Teal/Turquoise) for COM 1 (CN6), COM 2 (CN7) and COM 3
(CN3).
It is also equipped with a 9-pin connector at location J3 for
COM 4. One card-edge bracket, mounted with a serial port ca-
ble, will be provided as an option. If you want to use the COM 4
serial port, connect the serial port cable to connector J3. Make
sure the colored stripe on the ribbon cable is aligned with pin 1
of connector J3. Mount the card-edge bracket to the system chas-
sis.
The serial ports are RS-232C asynchronous communication ports
with 16C550A-compatible UARTs that can be used with modems,
serial printers, remote display terminals, and other serial devices.
BIOS Setting
Select the serial ports' I/O address in the Integrated Peripherals
submenu ("Onboard Super I/O Device" field) of the BIOS. Refer
