Table 1-4. Onboard Devices Options
Option Description
Integrated NIC
(On default)
Enables or disables the integrated NIC controller. Off disables the controller.
On enables the controller.
NOTE: PXE or RPL is required only if you are booting to an operating system on
another system; not if you are booting to an operating system on a hard drive in
this system.
USB
(On default)
Enables or disables the internal USB controller. Off disables the controller. On
enables the controller. No Boot enables the controller but disables the ability
to boot from a USB device.
LPT Port Mode
(PS/2 default)
Determines the mode of operation of the internal parallel port. Off disables the
port.
AT configures the port for IBM AT compatibility. PS/2 configures the port
for IBM PS/2 compatibility.
EPP configures the port for the EPP bidirectional
protocol.
ECP configures the port for the ECP bidirectional protocol.
If you set the LPT Port Mode to ECP, the LPT Port DMA option appears
in the option menu.
LPT Port Address
(378 default)
Determines the address that the built-in parallel port uses.
Serial Port (#1 or #2)
(Auto default)
Serial Port 1 options are COM1, COM3, Auto, and Off.
Serial Port 2 options are COM2, COM4, Auto, and Off.
When serial port 1 or 2 is set to Auto, the integrated port automatically maps
to the next available port. Serial port 1 attempts to use COM1 first and then
COM3. Serial port 2 attempts to use COM2 first and then COM4. If both
addresses are in use for a specific port, the port is disabled.
If you set the serial port to Auto and add an expansion card with a port
configured to the same designation, the system automatically remaps the
integrated port to the next available port designation that shares the same
IRQ setting.
PS/2 Mouse Port
(On default)
Enables or disables the integrated PS/2-compatible mouse controller.
Off disables the controller. On enables the controller.
