IDE HDD Block Mode 

 

Block Mode is also called Block Transfer, Multiple Commands, or Multiple Sec-

tor Read/Write. If your IDE hard drive supports Block Mode (most new drives 

do) then this field should be enabled. If this field is enabled then the optimal 

number of block read/writes per sector the drive can support will be deter-

mined automatically. 

 

POWER ON Function 

 

The POWER ON Function allows you to select different ways to power on your 

PC System. 

 

KB Power ON Password 

 

When you select KB Power ON Password to power ON the PC system in the 

previous field, you may enter your personal password into this field. When you 

are finished , you may use the password to power on your PC system. If you 

forget your password refer to section 2.9.5

 

Hot Key Power On 

 

When you select Hot Key Power On to Power ON the PC System in the previous 

selection field, you may select a set of “Hot Key” in this field . When finished 

you may use the hot key combination to power on your PC System. 

 

Onboard FDC Controller 

 

Select Enabled if your system has a floppy disk controller (FDC) installed on 

the system board and you want to use it. If you install an add-in FDC or the 

system has no floppy drive, select Disabled in this field. 

 

Onboard Serial Port 1/Port 2 

 

These two selection fields allow you to select the I/O address and correspond-

ing interrupts for the first and second serial ports. 

 

UART Mode Select 

 

Your system may offer a variety of infrared modes on the second serial port. 

The options are Standard, HPSIR or ASKIR. 

 

RxD, TxD Active 

 

This field allows you to set the IR reception/transmission polarity as high or 

low. To determine which polarity is appropriate you must refer to the docu-

mentation for your IR peripheral. 

 

This field is usually found under the Onboard Serial Port 2 option. If you dis-

able the Onboard Serial Port 2 option then you will probably not be able to 

configure this field. 

 

IR Transmission Delay 

 

This field allows you to “Enable” or “Disable” the IR Transmission Delay. 

 

UR2 Duplex Mode 

 

This Field allows you to select the IR half or full duplex function.
