Onboard Parallel Port : This option is used to assign the I/O address for the onboard
parallel port. The options are “378/IRQ7” (defaults), “278/IRQ7”, “3BC/IRQ7” and
“Disabled” (disable the onboard parallel port). Note: Printer port always use IRQ7
when set to “378/IRQ7” or “278/IRQ7”, or from “3BE/IRQ7” to “Enabled”.
Parallel Port Mode: There are four options “Normal” (default), “ECP”, “ECP/EPP” and
“EPP/SPP”. Change the mode from “Normal” to the enhanced mode only if your
peripheral device can support it. When it is set to ECP mode, the printer port always
uses DMA3.

ASSWORD
The “SUPERVISOR/USER PASSWORD” utility sets the password. The SBC is
shipped with the password disabled. If you want to change the password, you must first
enter the current password, then at the prompt -- enter your new password. The
password is case sensitive, and can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters. Press
<Enter> after you have finished typing in the password. At the next prompt, confirm the
new password by re-typing it and pressing <Enter> again. When you are done, the
screen automatically reverts to the main screen. Remember that when you use this
feature, the “Security Option” line in BIOS FEATURES SETUP will determine when
entering the password will be required.
To disable the password, press the <Enter> key instead of entering a new password
when the “Enter Password” in the dialog box appears. A message will appear confirming
that the password is disabled.
If you have set both supervisor and user password, only the supervisor password allows
you to enter the BIOS SETUP PROGRAM.
Note : If you forget your password, the only way to solve this problem is to discharge the
CMOS memory by turning power off and placing a shunt on the S1 (open pad) for
5 seconds, then removing the shunt.
