Onboard FDC Controller (Enabled)
Select Enabled if your system has a floppy disk controller (FDC) installed on the system
board and you wish to use it. If you install an add-in FDC or the system has no floppy drive,
select Disabled in this field.
Onboard Serial Port 1 (3F8/IRQ4)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for onboard serial
port 1 (COM1).
Onboard Serial Port 2 (2F8/IRQ3)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for onboard serial
port 2 (COM2).
UART Mode Select (Normal)
This field is available if the Onboard Serial Port 2 field is set to any option but Disabled.
UART Mode Select enables you to select the infrared communication protocol-Normal
(default), IrDA, or ASKIR. IrDA is an infrared communication protocol with a maximum
baud rate up to 115.2K bps. ASKIR is Sharp's infrared communication protocol with a
maximum baud rate up to 57.6K bps.
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 DMA3 or
DMA1.
Power On After Power Fail (Off)
This item enables your computer to automatically restart or return to its last operating
status after power returns from a power failure.
