the configuration (Auto).
[3F8 - 3FF]
Allows user to set the serial port base I/O address when serial port is
Enabled.
[IRQ 4]
Allows user to set the serial port interrupt when serial port is Enabled.
[Enabled]
Configures the infrared port using either no configuration (Disabled), a user
defined configuration (Enabled), or by allowing the BIOS or OS to choose
the configuration (Auto).
[FIR]
When the infrared port is enabled this option is available allowing
the user to set the mode for the infrared port.
[2E8 - 2EF]
Allows user to set the infrared port I/O address when the
infrared port is Enabled.
[IRQ 3]
Allows user to set the infrared port interrupt when the infrared
port is Enabled.
[118 - 11F]
Allows user to set the infrared port I/O address when the
infrared port is Enabled.
[DMA 3]
Allows user to set the infrared port DMA Channel when the
