Hardware Installation

IrDA Connector

Connect the cable connector from your IrDA module to the IrDA
connector (J5) or CIR connector (J14).

Note:

The sequence of the pin functions on some IrDA/CIR cable
may be reversed from the pin function defined on the system
board. Make sure to connect the cable connector to the IrDA/
CIR connector according to their pin functions.

BIOS Setting

Configure IrDA/CIR in the Integrated Peripherals submenu of the
BIOS.

Driver Installation

You may need to install the proper drivers in your operating system
to use the IrDA/CIR function. Refer to your operating system’s
manual or documentation for more information.
