Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Main Menu
Notes:
1. The infrared connector and Serial B connector share a single
port assignment. By default, the infrared connector is
configured as Disabled.
2. The serial, parallel, and infrared ports, and the diskette drive
must have the same configuration in the Configuration/Setup
utility programs and the EISA Configuration Diskette. See
“Using the EISA Configuration Diskette” on page 36 for more
information.
3. When you configure the parallel port as bidirectional, use an
IEEE 1284-compliant cable. The maximum length of the cable
must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet).
You can add serial ports by installing a serial adapter in an
expansion slot. See the documentation that comes with the serial
adapter for information about port assignments.
The parallel port can be configured as bidirectional, that is, data can
be both read from and written to a device. In bidirectional mode,
the server supports Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced
Parallel Port (EPP).
To display or change the assignments for devices, or the infrared,
serial, or parallel ports:
1. Select Devices and I/O Ports.
2. Select a device or port; then, use the Left Arrow (
←
) and Right
Arrow (
→
) keys to advance through the settings available.
The Devices and I/O Ports choice appears only on the full
Configuration/Setup menu.
