4. BIOS SETUP

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 options: [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 options: [3F8H/IRQ4]
[2F8H/IRQ3] [3E8H/IRQ4] [2E8H/IRQ10] [Disabled]

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 motherboard. 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 3.8.3 Exter-
nal Connectors
. Configuration options: [Disable] [Enabled]
