2E8, IRQ 3
Enables or disables onboard serial port 2 at the specified address.
Select Auto unless interrupts IRQ 4 and/or IRQ 3 have been allocated
as a computer resource.
Two devices cannot share the same IRQ. Choosing Disable makes
serial port 2 unusable. When Auto has been selected, Setup
configures COM2 to address = 2F8h and IRQ = 3.

setting of the monitor.

Select Yes when using a Plug and Play operating system, such as
Windows 95. Otherwise, select No.
Reset
configuration
data
Yes
No
Select Yes to clear the computer’s resource configuration data and No
not to clear it.
Setting this field to Yes is useful should the computer’s resource
configuration ever be destroyed or corrupted. The Yes setting forces
the computer to clear its current resource and Plug and Play
information and thereby prevent resource conflicts. Once the
computer’s resource configuration is erased the BIOS then
automatically sets the field back to No so as to prevent further
erasures.
