integrated NIC. This field has no user-selectable settings.
Serial Port (1 and 2) — Configures the system's integrated serial ports. When set to Auto, the integrated port
automatically maps to the next available port. Serial Port 1 tries to use COM1, then COM3. Serial Port 2 tries to use
COM2, then COM4. If both addresses are in use for a specific port, the port is disabled.
If you set the serial port to Auto and add an expansion card with a port configured to the same designation, the
system automatically remaps the integrated port to the next available port designation that shares the same IRQ
setting.
Parallel Port — Allows you to select the address for the parallel port. The default address is 378h.
The system automatically disables the built-in parallel port if an expansion card containing a parallel port at the same
address is detected.
Parallel Port Mode — Toggles the parallel port mode of operation between AT mode and PS/2 mode. In AT mode, the
integrated parallel port can only output data to an attached device. In PS/2 mode, the built-in parallel port can both
input and output data.
Speaker — Toggles the integrated speaker On (default) or Off. A change to this option takes effect immediately
(rebooting the system is not required).
