Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L Manual - Page 42

When LAN Cable Is Functioning Normally... If no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable connected to a Gigabit hub or a 10/100 Mbps hub, the following message will appear in a few seconds: Start detecting at Port..... No cable problem is detected on the LAN cable Due to a LAN chip limitation, if no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable that is NOT connected to any device (only with one end connected to the motherboard), the following message will appear: GA-G31M-ES2L-- Start detecting at Port..... Pair1-2 Status = Open Pair3-6 Status = Open Pair4-5 Status = Open Pair7-8 Status = Open / Length = 20m / Length = 20m / Length = 20m / Length = 20m GA-G31M-ES2C-- Start detecting at Port..... Pair1-2 Status = Open Pair3-6 Status = Open / Length = 20m / Length = 20m Length Displays the approximate length of the attached LAN cable. Note: The Gigabit hub will only operate at a speed of 10/100Mbps in MS-DOS mode; it will operate at a normal speed of 10/100/1000Mbps in Windows mode or when the LAN Boot ROM is activated. When a Cable Problem Occurs... If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the Status field will show Short and thenlength shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short. Example: Pair1-2 Status = Short / Length = 2m Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Pair 1-2. Onboard LAN Boot ROM Allows you to decide whether to activate the boot ROM integrated with the onboard LAN chip. (Default: Disabled) Onboard Serial Port 1 Enables or disables the first serial port and specifies its base I/O address and corresponding interrupt. Options are: Auto, 3F8/IRQ4 (default), 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3, Disabled. Onboard Parallel Port Enables or disables the onboard parallel port (LPT) and specifies its base I/O address and corresponding interrupt. Options are: 378/IRQ7 (default), 278/IRQ5, 3BC/IRQ7, Disabled. Parallel Port Mode Selects an operating mode for the onboard parallel (LPT) port. Options are: SPP (Standard Parallel Port)(default), EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port), ECP (Extended Capabilities Port), ECP+EPP. GA-G31M-ES2L/ES2C Motherboard - 42 -
