Advanced Setup BXT7059 / BXTS7059 Technical Reference
Super IO Configuration
The only Super IO component available in a system implementation using a BXT7059 or BXTS7059 is
located on the optional IOB33 module. An IOB33 can plug into the SHBs’ P20 I/O Expansion connector.
If an IOB33 is plugged into the SHB then the Super IO Configuration submenu will be displayed. This
Advanced Setup sub-menu allows you to configure the system ports connected to the IOB33s’ Super I/O
component.
NOTE:
The following Super IO settings are only valid when an optional Trenton IOB33 I/O Board is
installed on the BXT7059 or BXTS7059 SHB.
Floppy Disk Controller
This option allows you to enable or disable the floppy drive controller on your platform.
Option Description
Disabled Set this value to prevent the BIOS from detecting the onboard floppy drive controller.
Enabled Set this value to allow the BIOS to use the onboard floppy drive controller. This is the
default setting.
Floppy Device Mode
This option allows you to enable or disable write-protection of floppy disks.
Option Description
Read Write Set this value to allow writing to floppy disks. This is the default setting.
Write Protect Set this value to prevent writing to floppy disks.
Serial Port 0 Configuration
This option specifies the base I/O port address and Interrupt Request address of serial port 0. The Optimal
setting is
3F8/IRQ4
. The Fail-Safe default setting is
Disabled.
Option Description
Disabled Set this value to prevent the serial port from accessing any system resources. When
this option is set to
Disabled
, the serial port physically becomes unavailable.
3F8/IRQ4 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 3F8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 4 for
the interrupt address. This is the default setting. The majority of serial port 1 or COM1
ports on computer systems use IRQ4 and I/O Port 3F8 as the standard setting. The
most common serial device connected to this port is a mouse. If the system will not use
a serial device, it is best to set this port to
Disabled
.
2F8/IRQ3 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 2F8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 3 for
the interrupt address. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port
to
Disabled
.
3E8/IRQ4 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 3E8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 4 for
the interrupt address. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port
to
Disabled
.
2E8/IRQ3 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 2E8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 3 for
the interrupt address. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port
to
Disabled
.
