Infrared Port

This option can be purchased from third-party vendors.

1. If you are installing an optional serial infrared port, connect the cable

from the optional IR port to the SIR1 connector on the mainboard.

2. After you have connected the cable, secure the optional IR port to 

the appropriate place on your system case.

Note:

 An IR port may use some of the resources required by a 

second serial port or a fax/modem card. If you have more than 
one of these items installed, you may not be able to use them at 
the same time. You can use the Peripherals page of the setup 
utility to switch resources between an IR port and a second serial 
port. See Chapter 3 for more information.
