Setup guide

If you install additional parallel or serial ports on one or more

option cards, you may want to reassign the built-in ports or

disable them. Follow these guidelines:

If you are using only the built-in port, select

enabled

(the

default setting) for the primary port option. Also select the

default I/O address option listed in the table above.

If you installed an additional port on an option card but

still want to use the built-in port as your primary port,

select Enabled (the

default setting) for the primary port

option. Also select the primary I/O address setting (LPT1

or COM1) for the port’s I/O address option (the default

setting).

If you installed an additional port that is pre-set as the

primary port (LPT1 or COM1), you can select Enabled for

the primary port option (if you still want to use the built-in

port) or

disabled

(if you do not want to use the built-in

port). If you leave the built-in port enabled, you must select

a different I/O address for the port. Select one of the

nondefault settings listed in the table above for the parallel

or serial I/O address options, as necessary.

If you installed two or more additional ports, you can select

Enabled

for the primary port option (if you still want to

use the built-in port) or

Disabled

(if you do not want to

use the built-in port). If you leave the built-in port enabled,

you may want to select a different I/O address for the port

if you do not want to use it as the primary port. You can

select one of the settings listed in the table above for the

parallel or serial I/O address options, as necessary.
