1.7.1 Serial Ports
The D815EEA board has two serial ports. Serial port A is located on the back panel. Serial port B
is accessible using the connector at location J8E1. The serial ports’ NS16C550-compatible
UARTs support data transfers at speeds up to 115.2 kbits/sec with BIOS support. The serial ports
can be assigned as COM1 (3F8h), COM2 (2F8h), COM3 (3E8h), or COM4 (2E8h).

1.7.2 Infrared Support
The front panel connector includes four pins that support Hewlett-Packard HSDL-1000 compatible
infrared (IR) transmitters and receivers. In the BIOS Setup program, Serial port B can be directed
to a connected IR device. The IR connection can be used to transfer files to or from portable
devices like laptops, PDAs, and printers. The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) specification
supports data transfers of 115.2 kbits/sec at a distance of 1 meter.
