Using BIOS
Onboard FDC Controller (Enabled)
This option enables the onboard floppy disk drive controller.
Onboard Serial Port 1 (3F8/IRQ4)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for onboard serial port 1
(COM1).
UART Mode Select (Normal)
This field is available if the Onboard Serial Port 2 field is set to any option but Disabled. UART Mode
Select enables you to select the infrared communication protocol-Normal (default), IrDA, or ASKIR.
IrDA is an infrared communication protocol with a maximum baud rate up to 115.2K bps. ASKIR is
Sharp’s infrared communication protocol with a maximum baud rate up to 57.6K bps.
UR2 Duplex Mode (Half)
This field is available when UART 2 Mode is set to either ASKIR or IrDA. This item enables you to
determine the infrared function of the onboard infrared chip. The options are Full and Half (default).
Full-duplex means that you can transmit and send information simultaneously. Half-duplex is the
transmission of data in both directions, but only one direction at a time.
Onboard Parallel Port (378/IRQ7)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for the onboard parallel
port.

Parallel Port Mode (ECP)
Enables you to set the data transfer protocol for your parallel port. There are four options: SPP
(Standard Parallel Port), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) and ECP+EPP.
SPP allows data output only. Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) are
bi-directional modes, allowing both data input and output. ECP and EPP modes are only supported
with EPP- and ECP-aware peripherals.
ECP Mode Use DMA (3)
When the onboard parallel port is set to ECP mode, the parallel port can use DMA 3 or DMA 1.
