Gator Mini-ITX – Installation Guide
EPP
The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) specification. EPP uses
the existing parallel port signals to provide asymmetric bi-directional data transfer driven by the host device.
ECP
The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) specification. ECP
uses the DMA protocol to achieve data transfer rates up to 2.5 Megabits per second. ECP provides symmetric bi-
directional communication.
Parallel Port IRQ
This option specifies the IRQ used by the parallel port. The Optimal and Fail-Safe default setting is
7
.
5
Set this value to allow the serial port to use Interrupt 5.
7
Set this value to allow the serial port to use Interrupt 7. This is the default setting. The majority of parallel ports on
computer systems use IRQ7 and I/O Port 378h as the standard setting.
HARDWARE HEALTH CONFIGURATION SCREEN
Hardware Health Configuration Screen
Shows information about temperatures and voltages. The function can be enabled or disabled.
System Fan Configuration
Several options to control the system Fan operation.
ACPI CONFIGURATION SCREEN
ACPI Configuration Screen

1.0, 2.0, 3.0
ACPI APIC support
Include ACPI APIC pointer to RSDT pointer list.
AMI OEM Table
Set this value to allow the ACPI BIOS to add a pointer to an OEMB table in the Root System Description Table
(RSDT) table.
Disabled
This option disables adding an OEMB table.
Enabled
This option enables adding an OEMB table. This is the default setting.
Note:
OEMB table is used to pass POST data to the AML code during ACPI O/S operations.
RSDT
RSDT is the main ACPI table. It has no fixed place in memory. During the boot up process, the BIOS locates a
pointer to the table during the memory scan. A Root System Descriptor Pointer (RSDP) is located in low memory
space of the system. It provides the physical address of the RSDT. The RSDT itself is identified in memory because
it starts with the signature "RSDT." Following the signature is an array of pointers that tell the operating system the
location of other description tables that provide it with the information it needs about the standards defined on the
current system and individual devices.
