Option Description
Disabled Set this value to prevent the serial port from accessing any system resources. When this option
is set to Disabled, the serial port physically becomes unavailable.
3F8/IRQ4 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 3F8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 4 for the
interrupt address. This is the default setting. The majority of serial port 1 or COM1 ports on
computer systems use IRQ4 and I/O Port 3F8 as the standard setting. The most common serial
device connected to this port is a mouse. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to
set this port to Disabled.
2F8/IRQ3 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 2F8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 3 for the
interrupt address. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port to
Disabled.
3E8/IRQ4 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 3E8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 4 for the
interrupt address. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port to
Disabled.
2E8/IRQ3 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 2E8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 3 for the
interrupt address. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port to
Disabled.
