Setup
5.3.1 Super I/O Configuration
You can use this screen to select options for the Super I/O settings. Use the up and
down <Arrow> keys to select an item. Use the <Plus> and <Minus> keys to change
the value of the selected option. The settings are described on the following pages.
The screen is shown below.
Serial Port1 Address
The base I/O port address and Interrupt Request address of serial port 1. The Opti-
mal setting is 3F8/IRQ4.
Note! Different IDE disk drives take longer for the BIOS to locate than others do.
Option Description
Disabled Set this value to prevent the serial port from accessing any system
resources. When this option is set to Disabled, the serial port phys-
ically becomes unavailable.
3F8/IRQ4 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 3F8 as its I/O port
address and IRQ4 for the interrupt address. This is the default set-
ting. The majority of serial port 1 or COM1 ports on computer sys-
tems use IRQ4 and I/O Port 3F8 as the standard setting. The most
common serial device connected to this port is a mouse. If the sys-
tem will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port to Disabled.
