LPT port
This option is used to configure the parallel port labeled on the front panel as “LPT”.
The choices for I/O base addresses and IRQs are: “Disabled”, “378, IRQ7”, “278,
IRQ5”, and “Auto”. “Auto” causes the System BIOS to choose a base address and
IRQ setting that avoids conflicting with the other ports. The default I/O base and
IRQ for this LPT port are “378, IRQ7”.
LPT Mode
This option sets the mode under which the bi-directional LPT port operates. The
selections are:
Output only (the default) Use this setting when the LPT port is used only to
drive an output device, typically a printer.
Bi-directional Allows bi-directional data flow on the LPT port, such
as when a mass storage device shares the LPT port.
ECP

Local Bus IDE adapter

channels. This option must be set to “Disabled” if a CompactPCI hard disk
controller is installed in the system. The default is “Both”, which enables both the
primary and secondary IDE channels.
Onboard Ethernet controller
This option enables or disables the onboard PCIbus Ethernet controller. The default
is “Enabled”.
Onboard SCSI controller

“Enabled”.
