BIOS Setup

Onboard LAN Boot ROM

Allows you to decide whether to activate the boot ROM integrated with the onboard LAN chip.

(Default: Disabled)

Onboard Serial Port 1

Enables or disables the serial port and specifies its base I/O address and corresponding interrupt.

Options are: Auto, 3F8/IRQ4 (default), 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3, Disabled.

Onboard Parallel Port

Enables or disables the onboard parallel port (LPT) and specifies its base I/O address and correspond

ing interrupt. Options are: 378/IRQ7 (default), 278/IRQ5, 3BC/IRQ7, Disabled.

Parallel Port Mode

Selects an operating mode for the onboard parallel (LPT) port. Options are: SPP (Standard Parallel Port)
(default), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP (Extended Capabilities Port), ECP+EPP.

When a Cable Problem Occurs...

If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the

Status

field will show

Short

and then length

shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short.

Example:

Part1-2 Status = Short / Length = 2m

Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Part 1-2.

Note: Part 4-5 and Part 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their

Status

fields will show

Open

, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable.
