Select the Devices and I/O Ports choice to view or
change the assignments for devices and input/output ports.
You can add serial ports by installing a serial adapter in an
expansion slot. See the documentation that comes with
the serial adapter for information about port assignments.
You can configure the parallel port as bidirectional; that is,
so that data can be both read from and written to a device.
In bidirectional mode, the server supports Extended
Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP).
To display or change the assignments for devices,
serial ports, or the parallel port:
1. Select Devices and I/O Ports.
2. Select a device or port; use the Left Arrow (
←
) or
Right Arrow (
→
) key to advance through the settings
available.
The Devices and I/O Ports choice appears only on
the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
Notes
1. When you configure the parallel port as
bidirectional, use an IEEE 1284-compliant cable.
The maximum length of the cable must not
exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet).
2. The universal serial bus (USB) is configured
automatically. For further details about Plug and
Play devices, see “Plug and Play” on page 99.
3. If you install a USB keyboard that has a mouse
port, the USB keyboard emulates a mouse and
you will not be able to disable the mouse setting
in the Configuration/Setup Utility.
Date and time:
Select this choice to set the system
date and time.
The system time is in a 24-hour format:
hour:minute:second.
The system date is in standard format for your country.
For example, in the United States, the format is
MM/DD/YYYY (Month/Day/Year).
Select Date and Time; then, use the Left Arrow (
←
) or
Right Arrow (
→
) key to advance through each data field.
Type the new information; the system saves the
information as you type it.
The Date and Time choice appears only on the full
Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
