Chapter 7: BIOS

7-9

PCI Express Spread Spectrum

This setting is used to enable spread spectrum for the PCI Express.  Options 

are 

Disabled

 and Down Spread. 

Primary Video

This setting is used to switch the PCI bus scanning order while searching for the 

video card.  It allows the user to select the type of primary VGA in case of multiple 

video controllers.  Options are Slave PCI-Express and 

Master PCI-Express

.

 

I/O Device Confi guration

Onboard Floppy Controller

Use this setting to 

Enable

 or Disable the onboard fl oppy controller.

Serial Port1 Address

This option specifi es the base I/O port address and Interrupt Request address of 

serial port 1.  Select

 

"Disabled" to prevent the serial port from accessing any system 

resources. When this option is set to 

Disabled

, the serial port physically becomes 

unavailable. Select "3F8/IRQ4" to allow the serial port to use 3F8 as its I/O port 

address and IRQ 4 for the interrupt address. The options are Disabled, 

3F8/IRQ4

3E8/IRQ4 and 2E8/IRQ3.

Serial Port2 Address

This option specifi es the base I/O port address and Interrupt Request address of 

serial port 2.  Select

 

"Disabled" to prevent the serial port from accessing any system 

resources. When this option is set to "Disabled", the serial port physically becomes 

unavailable. Select "2F8/IRQ3" to allow the serial port to use 2F8 as its I/O port 

address and IRQ 3 for the interrupt address. The options are Disabled, 

2F8/IRQ3

3E8/IRQ4 and 2E8/IRQ3.

Serial Port 2 Mode

Tells BIOS which mode to select for serial port 2.  The options are 

Normal

IrDA and ASKIR.
