Setting the Serial/Parallel Interfaces

The serial and parallel interfaces in your computer are set to act

as the primary ports. If you have not added any additional serial
or parallel port, you can skip this section.

If you install an option card with its own serial or parallel port,

you may want to designate the built-in port as secondary and the
additional port as primary. The Setup program lets you choose
which port is primary and which is secondary so there is no

conflict between the built-in port and the additional port. Here
are some guidelines:

If you install an option card with a port preset as primary by
the manufacturer, you must designate it as the primary port
and make the computer’s built-in port the secondary port.

If you install an option card or peripheral with a port that is

not pre-set, you can designate it as the primary or secondary

port.

If you install two option cards with ports, designate one as
the primary port and the other as the secondary port and

disable the built-in port.
