Advanced Menu
Selecting Advanced from the menu bar displays the Advanced
menu.
Integrated Peripherals: Accesses the Integrated Peripherals
submenu if you press <Enter> when this field is highlighted.
The submenu contains these fields:
COM1 port: Sets the base address and IRQ line for the
first serial port. The options for this field are Disabled;
Auto; 2E8, IRQ 3; 3E8, IRQ 4; 2F8, IRQ 3; and 3F8, IRQ 4
(default). Do not select the same option as that selected in
the COM2 port field.
If you change this option, you must reboot your
computer before the change can take effect.
If you do not have a peripheral device attached to your
serial port, specify Disabled. This saves power and serves
as an additional security measure because a serial device
attached to your computer will not function.
COM2 port: Sets the base address and IRQ line for the
second serial port (the infrared port). The options for this
field are Disabled; Auto; 2E8, IRQ 3; 3E8, IRQ 4; 2F8, IRQ 3
(default); and 3F8, IRQ 4. Do not select the same option
as that selected in the COM1 port field.
If you change this option, you must reboot your
computer before the change can take effect.
If you do not plan to use the infrared link, you can
specify Disabled. This saves power and serves as an
additional security measure because the infrared port
will not function.
