Serial 1 / Serial 2 - Serial interfaces
This field selects the address and the interrupt used to access serial interface.
3F8h, IRQ4
;
2F8h, IRQ3
;
3E8h, IRQ4
;
2E8h, IRQ3
;
The serial interface is set to the shown address and interrupt.
Auto
The serial interface is automatically set to the next available
combination (address, interrupt) (default entry).
Disabled
The serial interface is disabled.
Parallel - parallel interface
This field selects the address and the interrupt used to access parallel interface.
378h, IRQ7
;
278h, IRQ5
;
3BCh, IRQ7
The parallel interface is set to the shown address and interrupt.
Auto
The parallel interface is automatically set to the next available
combination (address, interrupt) (default entry).
Disabled
The parallel interface is disabled.
Parallel Mode
This field is used to specify whether the parallel interface is to be used as a
bidirectional input/output port or just as an output port.
In addition, LPT1 and LPT2 can be configured for
ECP, EPP
, and
ECP and EPP
transfer modes, which allow transfer rates of 2 and 2.4 Mbyte/s. These modes will
only work with peripheral devices which also support them. The field
Parallel
must
be set to
378h
or
278h
.
Printer
The port functions as an output port only (default entry).
Bidirection
Data can be transferred in both directions across the port.
EPP
Fast transfer mode (up to 2 Mbyte/s), can output and receive data.
Requires a peripheral device which supports the EPP (Enhanced
Parallel Port) transfer mode.
ECP
Fast transfer mode (up to 2.4 Mbyte/s), can output and receive
data. Requires a peripheral device which supports the ECP
(Enhanced Capability Port) transfer mode.

Diskette Controller
This field is used to enable and disable the built-in floppy disk controller on the
system board.
Enabled
The floppy disk controller is enabled - IRQ 6 is used (default entry).
Disabled
The floppy disk controller is disabled - IRQ 6 is free.
Hard Disk Controller
This field allows you to enable and disable the built-in IDE hard disk controller. The
associated interrupts (IRQ 14 for the first connector, IRQ 15 for the second
connector) will only be available if no hard disk is physically connected.
Primary
The primary IDE hard disk controller is enabled. Two IDE drives
(preferably fast hard disks) can be connected to the associated
(primary) connector. Interrupt 14 is used.
Primary And Secondary
Primary and secondary IDE hard disk controller are enabled. The
maximum of four IDE drives can be connected. Slow drives (e.g.
CD-ROM) should be preferably connected to the (secondary)
connector.
Interrupts 14 and 15 are used (default entry).
Disabled
Both IDE hard disk controller are disabled.
Mouse Controller
This field is used to enable and disable the built-in mouse controller on the system
board.
Enabled
The mouse controller is enabled - IRQ 12 is used (default entry).
Disabled
The mouse controller is disabled - IRQ 12 is free.
