Serial Port Connectors
Default port designations: COM1 for serial port 1 and COM2 for serial port
2. You can reassign the serial port's designation if you add an expansion card
containing a serial port using this designation.
If you set the computer's serial ports to Auto in system setup and add an
expansion card containing a serial port configured to a specific designation,
the computer automatically maps (assigns) the integrated ports to the
appropriate COM setting as necessary.
Before you add a card with a serial port, check the documentation that
accompanied your software to make sure that the software can be mapped
to the new COM port designation.
