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 an 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

designate ports as primary and 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 pre-set as primary

by the manufacturer, you must make the computer’s

built-in port the secondary port.

If you install an option card or peripheral device 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.
