Onboard FDC Controller [Enabled]

When [Enabled], this field allows you to connect your floppy disk drives to
the onboard floppy disk drive connector instead of a separate controller card.
If you want to use a different controller card to connect the floppy disk drives,
set this field to [Disabled]. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

Onboard Serial Port 1 [3F8H/IRQ4]

This allows you to set the address for the onboard serial connector. Serial
Port 1 and Serial Port 2 must have different addresses. Configuration op-
tions: [3F8H/IRQ4] [2F8H/IRQ3] [3E8H/IRQ4] [2E8H/IRQ10] [Disabled]

Onboard Serial Port 2 [2F8H/IRQ3]

This allows you to set the address for the onboard serial connector. Serial
Port 1 and Serial Port 2 must have different addresses. Configuration op-
tions: [3E8H/IRQ4] [2E8H/IRQ10] [Disabled] [3F8H/IRQ4] [2F8H/IRQ3]

UART2 Use Infrared [Disabled]

When enabled, this field activates the onboard infrared feature and sets the
second serial UART to support the infrared module connector on the moth-
erboard. If your system already has a second serial port connected to the
onboard COM2 connector, it will no longer work if you enable the infrared
feature. By default, this field is set to [Disabled], which leaves the second
serial port UART to support the COM2 serial port connector. See IrDA-
Compliant Infrared Module Connector
in 3.8 External Connectors. Con-
figuration options: [Disable] [Enabled]
