The IRQ and the address ranges for COM1, 2, 3, and 4 are fixed. However, if you wish to disable the port or change these parameters later you can do this in the system BIOS setup. The table overleaf shows the default settings for the panel PC’s serial ports. PPC-153 User's Manual...
COM1 and COM2 are one set. You can exchange the address range and interrupt IRQ of COM1 for the address range and interrupt IRQ of COM2. After exchanging, COM1's address range is 2F8 ~ 2FF and its request IRQ is IRQ3: and COM2's address range is 3F8 ~ 3FF and its interrupt IRQ is IRQ4.
The panel PC provides an internal -12 V source in an expansion slot, available for various expansion card applications. Table 5-9: Internal -12 V source selection setting (JP1) * Onboard -12 V support External -12 V input * default setting PPC-153 User's Manual...
SW3 is a 8-pin dip switch for selecting panel type and display mode. A 1024 x 768 TFT LCD is used in the PPC-153, so the switch is preset according to the table below. The switch is already defaulted for the PPC-153's LCD, so it should not be modified.
When the watchdog timer activates (i.e. CPU processing has come to a halt), it can reset the system or generate an interrupt on IRQ11. This can be set via jumper JP7 as shown below: Table 5-11: Watchdog activity selection (JP7) *System reset IRQ11 * default setting PPC-153 User's Manual...

9.1 Award BIOS Setup The PPC-153 comes with an Award BIOS chip that contains the ROM setup for your system. This chip serves as an interface between the processor and the rest of the mainboard's components. This chapter explains the information contained in the setup program and tells you how to modify the settings according to your system configuration.
A setup program, built into the system BIOS, is stored in the CMOS RAM that allows the configuration settings to be changed. This program is executed when the user changes the system configuration; when the user changes the system backup battery; or when the system detects a configuration error and asks the user to run the setup program.
LBA mode, select "LBA" or "Large". However, if your hard disk supporting cylinder is more than 1024 MB and does not support the LBA function, you have to select "Large". If your hard disk supporting cylinder is below 1024 MB, select "Normal". PPC-153 User's Manual...
9.4 BIOS Features Setup Figure 9-3: BIOS features setup screen Moving around the BIOS Features and Chipset Features setup programs works the same way as moving around the Standard CMOS setup program.

PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS issue a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the task by themselves. Your system supports five modes, numbered from 0 through 4, which differ primarily in timing.
