Description
Allows the integrated SATA controller to be set to Off or ATA Mode.
Displays Installed if the optional fourth hard-drive carrier fan cable is connected to
the system board connector and is functioning. Otherwise, displays Not Installed.
Enables the integrated IDE controller. When set to Auto, each channel of the
integrated IDE controller is enabled if IDE devices are attached to the channel.
Enables or disables the system's diskette drive controller. When Auto is selected,
the system turns off the controller when necessary to accommodate a controller
card installed in an expansion slot. You can also configure the drive as Read-Only,
or Off. When using the Read-Only setting, the drive cannot be used to write to a
disk.
Enables or disables the system's user accessible USB ports. Options are All Ports
On, Only Back Ports On, and All Ports Off.
Enables or disables the system's integrated NIC. Options are Enabled without
PXE, Enabled with PXE, and Disabled. PXE support allows the system to boot
from the network. Changes take effect after the system reboots.
Displays the MAC address for the integrated 10/100/1000 NIC. This field does not
have user-selectable settings.
Serial port options are COM1, COM3, Auto, and Off.
When the serial port is set to Auto, the integrated port automatically attempts to
use COM1 first, and then COM3. If both addresses are in use, the port is disabled.
If you set the serial port to Auto and add an expansion card with a port configured
to the same designation, the system automatically remaps the integrated port to
the next available port designation that shares the same IRQ setting.
Selects the address for the parallel port. Options are 378h, 278h, 3BCh, and Off.
The system automatically disables the built-in parallel port if an expansion card
containing a parallel port at the same address is detected.
Sets the parallel port mode of operation between AT mode and PS/2 mode. In AT
mode, the integrated parallel port can output data only to an attached device. In
PS/2 mode, the built-in parallel port can both input and output data.
