This feature allows you to enable the on-board modem function.
VIA OnChip LAN
This feature allows you to enable the on-board LAN function
Onboard Legacy Audio
This feature allows you to enable the on-board audio function.

C. VIA Super IO Device

Onboard FDC Controller
Select Enabled if your system has a floppy disk controller (FDC) installed on
the system board and you wish 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
This function allows you to select a logical serial port address and corresponding
interrupt for the physical serial port.
Onboard Parallel Port
Select a logical LPT port address and corresponding interrupt for the physical
parallel port.
Parallel Port Mode
Select an operating mode for the onboard parallel (printer) port. Select
SPP unless you are certain your hardware and software support one of the other
available modes.
On Board FIR Select
This function allows you to select an IRQ for the FIR(Fast Infrared) port.

D. Init Display First

This function allows user to choose between PCI slot or Onboard to initialize
Display first .

E. OnChip USB

Enable the on-board Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller if you want to connect
a USB keyboard to your system.  Note that if this setting is disabled, you can
still temporarily use a USB keyboard during bootup so that you can enter BIOS
and enable this setting. If you pass the bootup stage without enabling this
function, your PS/2 keyboard will no longer work.
