Onboard FDC Controller
Use this item to turn on or off the floppy disk controller that is built into this
mainboard.
Onboard Serial Port 1
This item lets you disable the built-in serial port 1, or enable it by assigning an I/O
address and an Interrupt Request Line (IRQ).
Onboard Serial Port 2
This item lets you disable the built-in serial port 2, or enable it by assigning an I/O
address and an Interrupt Request Line (IRQ).
UART 2 Mode
This item defines the operation of serial port 2. In the Normal setting, serial port 2 is
assigned to the connector on the mainboard. If you have installed an optional infrared
port, you must change the setting of this item to one of the Infrared settings (usually
IrDA, FIR and HPSIR). These settings will disable the mainboard serial port connector
and assign serial port 2 to the infrared device. If you have selected an IR mode, two
items appear, IR Function Duplex and RxD, TxD Active, which let you set the duplex
and transmission parameters for the Infrared port. See the documentation of your
infrared port for help on these items.
Onboard Parallel Port
This item lets you disable the built-in parallel port, or enable it by assigning an I/O
address and an Interrupt Request Line (IRQ).
Parallel Port Mode
This item defines the operation of the parallel port. It can be set to SPP (standard
parallel port). If you are connected to a parallel device that supports the higher-
performance EPP (enhanced parallel port) or the ECP (extended capabilities port)
make the appropriate changes to this item. If you change the parallel port to EPP or
ECP, new items appear to let you configure the EPP and ECP modes.
PS/2 mouse function
Use this item to enable or disable the built-in PS/2 mouse port. If you are using a serial
port mouse, you can conserve system resources by disabling the PS/2 mouse port.
USB Controller
Use this item to enable or disable the built-in Universal Serial Bus ports. If you are not
using any USB devices, you can conserve system resources by disabling the USB
ports.
