tions; [Auto] [Disabled]
Onboard FDC Swap A&B [No Swap]
This option selects drive letter assignments. Configuration options; [No
Swap] [Swap AB]
Floppy Disk Access Control [R/W]
When set to [Read Only], this field protects files from being copied to
floppy disks by allowing reads from the floppy disk drive but not writes.
The setup default [R/W] allows both reads and writes. Configuration op-
tions: [R/W] [Read Only]
Onboard Serial Port 1 [3F8H/IRQ4], Onboard Serial Port 2 [2F8H/
IRQ3]
These fields allow you to set the addresses for the onboard serial connec-
tors. Serial Port 1 and Serial Port 2 must have different addresses. Con-
figuration options: [3F8H/IRQ4] [2F8H/IRQ3] [3E8H/IRQ4] [2E8H/
IRQ10] [Disabled]
UART2 Use Standard Infrared [Disabled]
When enabled, this field activates the onboard standard infrared feature
and sets the second serial UART to support the infrared module connector
on the motherboard. If your system already has a second serial port con-
nected to the onboard COM2 connector, it will no longer work if you en-
able the infrared feature. See
