Onboard FDC Controller
When Enabled, this field allows you to connect your floppy disk drives to the onboard floppy
disk drive connector instead of a separate controller card. If you want to use a different
controller card to connect the floppy disk drives, set this field to Disabled.
Onboard Serial Port 1
Settings are 3F8H/IRQ4, 2F8H/IRQ3, 3E8H/IRQ4, 2E8H/IRQ 3, Auto and Disabled for the
onboard serial connector.
Onboard Serial Port 2
Settings are 3F8H/IRQ4, 2F8H/IRQ3, 3E8H/IRQ4, 2E8H/IRQ3, Auto and Disabled for the
onboard serial connector.
UART2 Mode Select
This item allows you to determine which Infra Red (IR) function of onboard I/O chip.
Onboard Parallel Port
This field sets the address of the onboard parallel port connector. You can select either:
3BCH/IRQ 7, 378H/IRQ 7, 278H/IRQ 5, Disabled. If you install an I/O card with a parallel
port, ensure that there is no conflict in the address assignments. The PC can support up to
three parallel ports as long as there are no conflicts for each port.
Parallel Port Mode
This field allows you to set the operation mode of the parallel port. The setting SPP,
allows normal-speed operation but in one direction only. EPP allows bidirectional parallel
port operation at maximum speed. ECP allows the parallel port to operate in bidirectional
mode and at a speed faster than the maximum data transfer rate. And ECP+EPP allows
normal speed operation in a two-way mode.
