Dual Serial Port Modes
The serial port connectors can be configured as dual serial ports in the BIOS. The mapping between the
connectors and COM port numbers is shown in Table 22. The supported combinations of serial port modes are
listed in Table 23, which also includes a reference to the corresponding connector pinout. For the configurations
that have RS-422 or RS-485 on COM B, a jumper must be installed.
