The mainboard is equipped with an IrDA connector for wireless con-
nectivity between your computer and peripheral devices. The IRDA
(Infrared Data Association) specification supports data transfers of
115K baud at a distance of 1 meter.
Connect your IrDA cable to connector J8 on the mainboard. Set
“UART Mode Select” in the Integrated Peripherals submenu (“Super
IO Device” field) of the BIOS to the type of IrDA standard
supported by your device. You must have the proper drivers
installed in your operating system to use this connector. Refer to your
operating system’s manual or documentation.
Note:
The sequence of the pin functions on some IrDA cable may be
reversed from the pin function defined on the mainboard. Make
sure to connect the cable to the IrDA connector according to
their pin functions.
