You can add serial ports by installing a serial adapter in an expansion slot. See the documentation that comes with the serial adapter for information about port assignments. You can configure the parallel port as standard, as bidirectional, as an Extended Capabilities Port (ECP), or as an Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP). Bidirectional, ECP, and EPP are all bidirectional modes; in all three modes, data can be both read from and written to a device. ECP and EPP are industry-standard, high-performance bidirectional modes. Which one of these modes you choose depends on what mode your device supports. Note When you configure the parallel port as bidirectional, ECP, or EPP, use an IEEE 1284-compliant cable. The maximum length of the cable must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet). You can configure the mouse and diskette controller as enabled or disabled, and configure the type of diskette drive. You can view the type of video controller and the amount of video memory installed. You can configure the IDE channel (enabled or disabled) and view the IDE Primary Master Device (type, size, transfer selection and mode, and logical block addressing (LBA) mode). To display or change the port assignments: 1. Select Devices and I/O Ports. 2. Select a device or port; then, use the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to advance through the settings available. Date and Time: Select this choice to set the system date and time. The system time is in a 24-hour format: hour/minute/second. The system date is in standard format for your country. For example, in the United States, the format is MM/DD/YYYY (Month/Day/Year). Select Date and Time; then, use the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to advance through each data field. Type the new information; the system saves the information as you type it. System Security: To control access to the information in your server, you can implement security features, such as adding passwords and defining a system owner's name that displays during startup. Implementing these security measures helps you to ensure the integrity of the data and programs that are stored in your server. 24 Netfinity Server HMM

You can add serial ports by installing a serial adapter in an
expansion slot.
See the documentation that comes with
the serial adapter for information about port assignments.
You can configure the parallel port as standard, as
bidirectional, as an Extended Capabilities Port (ECP), or as
an Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP).
Bidirectional, ECP, and
EPP are all bidirectional modes; in all three modes, data
can be both read from and written to a device.
ECP and
EPP are industry-standard, high-performance bidirectional
modes.
Which one of these modes you choose depends
on what mode your device supports.
Note
When you configure the parallel port as bidirectional,
ECP, or EPP, use an IEEE 1284-compliant cable.
The maximum length of the cable must not exceed 3
meters (9.8 feet).
You can configure the mouse and diskette controller as
enabled or disabled, and configure the type of diskette
drive.
You can view the type of video controller and the amount
of video memory installed.
You can configure the IDE channel (enabled or disabled)
and view the IDE Primary Master Device (type, size,
transfer selection and mode, and logical block addressing
(LBA) mode).
To display or change the port assignments:
1.
Select
Devices and I/O Ports.
2.
Select a device or port; then, use the Left Arrow (
←
)
or Right Arrow (
→
) key to advance through the
settings available.
Date and Time:
Select this choice to set the system
date and time.
The system time is in a 24-hour format:
hour/minute/second.
The system date is in standard
format for your country.
For example, in the United States,
the format is
MM/DD/YYYY
(Month/Day/Year).
Select
Date and Time
; then, use the Left Arrow (
←
) or
Right Arrow (
→
) key to advance through each data field.
Type the new information; the system saves the
information as you type it.
System Security:
To control access to the
information in your server, you can implement security
features, such as adding passwords and defining a system
owner's name that displays during startup.
Implementing
these security measures helps you to ensure the integrity
of the data and programs that are stored in your server.
