Serial/Parallel Port Configurations Submenu of the Advanced Menu

The Serial/Parallel Port Configurations submenu allows
you to set the I/O addresses and interrupt levels for the
serial, touch panel, and parallel ports of your notebook

All I/O addresses in Table 4 are in hexadecimal.

Figure 4. Serial/Parallel Port Configurations Submenu

I/O addresses, DMA channels and
Interrupt levels can be entered in various
ways, including via the BIOS setup utility,
the control software for the I/O device, or
the hardware. If any two ports or devices,
serial or parallel, have the same I/O
address assigned, your notebook will not
function normally. Please keep a record of
original settings before making any
changes in the event that a restoration is
required. See your hardware and software
documentation as well as the setup utility
to determine settings, limitations, etc.

• To prevent IRQ and address conflicts,

avoid changing the default settings. If
you must change the settings, you can
call 1-800-8FUJITSU for technical assis-
tance.

• The BIOS will warn you of a resource

conflict by placing a yellow asterisk next
to each device that is in conflict.
