Onboard UART 2 Mode
The system board supports IrDA function for wireless connectivity
between your computer and peripheral devices. You may not use IrDA
(J4) and the COM 2 serial port (J5) at the same time. If you are using
the COM 2 serial port, make sure Onboard UART 2 Mode is set
to Standard.
To use the IrDA function, follow the steps below.
1. Connect your IrDA cable to connector J4 on the system
board.
2.
Set Onboard UART 2 Mode to the type of IrDA standard
supported by your IrDA peripheral/device (HPSIR or ASKIR).

The following will appear right below Onboard UART 2
Mode.
