Onboard Serial Port 1 (3F8/IRQ4)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for the Onboard
Serial Port 1.
Onboard FDC Controller (Enabled)
This option enables the Onboard Floppy Disk drive Controller.
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 bidirectional modes, allowing both data input and output. ECP and EPP modes are
only supported with EPP- and ECP-aware peripherals.
Onboard Parallel Port (378/IRQ7)
This option is used to assign the I/O address and interrupt request (IRQ) for the onboard
parallel port.

ECP Mode Use DMA (3)
When the onboard parallel port is set to ECP mode, the parallel port can use DMA3 or
DMA1.
IDE HDD Block Mode (Enabled)
Block mode is also called block transfer, multiple commands, or multiple sector read/
write. If your IDE hard drive supports block mode, select Enabled for automatic detection
of the optimal number of block read/write per sector the drive can support.
