Peripheral Configuration Subscreen
This section describes the screens for the peripheral configuration subscreen.
Configuration Mode
Enables you to choose between setting the peripheral configuration yourself,
or having the system do it. The options are Auto and Manual. The default is
Auto.
When Auto is selected, the system peripherals are automatically configured
during power up. The options below for PCI IDE Interface, Floppy Interface,
Serial Port 1 and Serial Port 2 Addresses, Serial Port 2 IR Mode, and the
Parallel Port Address cannot be modified. The settings displayed for those
options reflect the current state of the hardware.
PCI IDE Interface
Enables or disables the PCI IDE hard disk interface. The options are Enabled
and Disabled. The default is Enabled. (If Configuration Mode is set to Auto,
this option cannot be modified.)
Floppy Interface
Enables or disables the diskette drive interface. The options are Enabled and
Disabled. The default is Enabled. (If Configuration Mode is set to Auto, this
option cannot be modified.)
Serial Port 1 Address
Selects the address of the serial port. The options are Disabled; COM1, 3F8h,
IRQ4; COM2, 2F8h, IRQ3; COM3, 3E8h, IRQ4; and COM4, 2E8h, IRQ3. If the
Configuration Mode is set to Auto, the Setup program assigns the first free
COM port (normally COM1, 3F8h) as the serial port 1 address, regardless of
what is selected under the Serial Port 1 Address option. (If Configuration
Mode is set to Auto, this option cannot be modified.)
