Setting the Built-in Interfaces
This option lets you define how the following built-in interfaces
in your computer operate:
Parallel port (LPT1 , LPT2, LPT3)
Serial port (COMl or COM2)
Hard disk drive controller (HDC)
Floppy disk drive controller (FDC).
Read the following descriptions to make sure the settings are
correct.
Setting the Parallel Interface
The built-in parallel port in your computer is set to act as the
primary port (LPTl). If you install an option card that provides
an additional parallel interface’ you may need to select LPT2 or
LPT3 for the built-in port. Follow these guidelines:
If you are using only the built-in port, select
LP T 1 .
Also
select LPTl if you have installed an additional port but want
to keep the built-in port the primary adapter.
If you have installed an additional port that is pre-set to act
as the primary port or one that you want to be the primary
port, select
LPT2
. For example, if you have installed an
IBM monochrome adapter/parallel interface card, the
parallel port on the card must be the primary adapter and
you need to select LPT2 for the built-in port.
If you have installed two additional parallel ports and you
want them to be the primary and secondary ports, select
LPT3.
