Serial/Parallel Port Configuration Submenu of the Advanced Menu
The Serial/Parallel Port Configuration submenu lets you
set the I/O addresses and interrupt levels for the serial,
infrared and parallel ports of your notebook.
I/O addresses, DMA channels and
Interrupt levels can be entered in various
ways, including via the BIOS setup utility,
the control software for the I/O device, or
the hardware. If any two ports or devices,
serial or parallel, have the same address
assigned, your notebook will not function
normally. Keep a record of original settings
before making any changes if restoration is
required. See your hardware and software
documentation as well as the setup utility
to determine settings and limitations.

To prevent IRQ and address conflicts,
avoid changing the default settings. If
you must change the settings, you can
call 1-800-8Fujitsu for technical assis-
tance.
If your notebook emits a series of beeps
that sounds like a code and the display is
blank, refer to the Troubleshooting Sec-
tion in the system User's Guide. The
Troubleshooting Section includes a list of
error messages and their meanings.
