Setting the Built-in interfaces

This option lets you define how the following built-in

interfaces operate:

Parallel port (LPTl, LPT2, LPT3)

Serial port (COMl or COM2)

Hard disk drive controller (HDC)

Floppy disk drive controller (FDC).

S e t t i n g t h e P a r a l l e l l n t e r f a c e

The built-in parallel port is set to act as the primary port

(LPTl). If you install an option card that provides an

additional parallel interface, you may need to select LPT2 or
LPT3 for the built-in port. Follow these guidelines:

If you are using only the built-in

port, select LPTl. Also

select LPTl if you have installed an additional port but

want to keep the built-in port the primary adapter.

If you have installed an additional port that is pre-set to
act as the primary port or one that you want to be the
primary

port,

select

LPTE.

For example, if you have

installed an IBM monochrome adapter/parallel interface

card, the parallel port on the card must be the primary

adapter and you need to select LPT2 for the built-in port.

If you have installed two additional parallel ports and

want them to be primary and secondary, select

LPT3.

If you have installed three additional parallel ports and

you do not want to use the built-in port,

select Disable.

Note

Be sure to set any jumpers on the card(s) to indicate how

you want the port to be recognized (LITI, LPI2, or LPT3).
