UART 2 Mode
This item defines the operation of serial port 2. In the default Standard 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 either HPSIR, or ASKIR. These settings
will disable the mainboard serial port connector and assign serial port 2 to the infrared
device. HPSIR prepares the port to receive infrared communications using the IrDA serial
infrared standard. ASKIR prepares the port to receive infrared communications using the
ASK serial infrared standard. The ASK standard is supported my many devices made by
the Sharp Corporation. If you have selected an IR mode, a new item appears, Use IR Pins.
Set this item according to the kind of IR port you have installed.
Onboard Parallel Port
This item lets you disable the built-in parallel port, or enable it by assigning an I/O address

Onboard Parallel Mode
This item defines the operation of the parallel port. As a default it is set to SPP (standard
parallel port). If you are connected to a parallel device that supports the higher-

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.
