Init Display First (PCI slot)
Use this item to specify whether your graphics adapter is installed in one of the PCI slots or
is integrated on the motherboard.
IDE HDD Block Mode (Enabled)
Enable this field if your IDE hard drive supports block mode. Block mode enables BIOS to
automatically detect the optimal number of block read and writes per sector that the drive
can support and improves the speed of access to IDE devices.
Onboard FDC Controller (Enabled)
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 1 (3F8/IRQ4)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for onboard serial
port 1 (COM1).
USB Mouse Support (Enabled)
Enable this item if you plan to use a USB mode.
AC97 Audio (Auto)
Enables and disables the onboard audio chip. Disable this item if you are going to install a
PCI audio add-on card.

Onboard Parallel Port (378/IRQ7)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for the onboard

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 DMA3 or
DMA1.
