UR2 Duplex Mode (Half)
This field is available when UART 2 Mode is set to either ASKIR or IrDA. This
item enables you to determine the infrared function of the onboard infrared
chip. The options are Full and Half (default).
Full-duplex means that you can transmit and send information simultaneously.
Half-duplex is the transmission of data in both directions, but only one
direction at a time.
Onboard Parallel Port (378/IRQ7)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for
the onboard parallel port.
Parallel Port Mode (ECP)
Enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel port. There are
four options: SPP (Standard Parallel Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port),
ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) and ECP+EPP.
SPP allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced
Parallel Port (EPP) are bi-directional modes, allowing both data input and output.
ECP and EPP modes are only supported with EPP- and ECP-aware peripherals.
ECP Mode Use DMA (3)
When the onboard parallel port is set to ECP mode, the parallel port can use
DMA 3 or DMA 1.
Game Port Address (201)
This item sets the I/O address for the game port.
Midi Port Address (330)
This item sets the I/O address for the Midi function.
Midi Port IRQ (10)
This item sets the interrupt request for the Midi function.
Press <Esc> to return to the Integrated Peripherals screen.
USB Controller (Enabled)
Enable this item if you plan to us e the Universal Serial Bus ports on this
mainboard.
USB Keyboard Support (Disabled)
Enable this item if you plan to use a keyboard connected through the USB port in
a legacy operating system (such as DOS) that does not support Plug and Play.
Onboard LAN (Enabled)
Use this item to enable and disable the onboard LAN function.
IDE HDD Block Mode (Enabled)
Enable this field if your IDE hard drive supports block mode. Block mode
enables BIOS to automatically detect the optimal number of block read and
writes per sector that the drive can support. It also improves the speed of
access to IDE devices.
