Peripheral Configuration
Adjustments must sometimes be made in the Setup Utility
when peripheral devices are added, removed or changed.
Use the fields in the following list to configure your system
when making any peripheral configuration changes.
„
Serial Ports A and B
Selectable parameters for these fields are “Disabled,”
“Enabled,” and “Auto.” The default setting for Serial
Port A is “Enabled.” The default setting for Serial Port
B is “Disabled.” The serial ports can be auto detected by
choosing “Auto.” The “Auto” parameter enables the
serial device, but the BIOS will not place its resources
unless the “PnP OS” field is set to “No.”
Use the Enabled setting if you want to choose a specific
address for the serial port. The following options
become available:

Base I/O address
Available addresses include “3F8h” (Serial Port A
default), “2F8h” (Serial Port B default), “3E8h,”
and “2E8h.”

Interrupt
Available IRQs include “IRQ4” (Serial Port A
default) and “IRQ3” (Serial Port B default),
“IRQ10,” and “IRQ11.”

Serial Port B Mode
If you are using an IrDA device, the Serial Port B
Mode field should be “IrDA.” The default is
“Serial.”
NOTE
When an option is selected for one serial
port, that selection is not available for the second
port.
