INSTALLING EXTERNAL I/O CARD
The BIOS on 586MI automatically detects external I/O devices. It will arrange the on-board I/O addresses accordingly to
prevent any address conflict.
Serial Ports:
The on-board Serial port 1 (labeled as COM1) address can be set to 3F8(COM1), 3E8(COM3), or Disabled.
The on-board Serial port 2 (labeled as COM2) address can be set to 2F8(COM2), 2E8(COM4), or Disabled.
The 586MI BIOS can detect external Serial port addresses and sets different addresses for the on-board Serial ports or
disables them entirely. User's responsibility is to select the Serial port addresses on the external I/O card. There are no
jumpers on 586MI to be changed.
Parallel Ports:
The on-board Parallel port (labeled as PARALL) address can be set to 378(LPT1), 278(LPT2), or Disabled.
