ing Technology) capability for the hard disks. S.M.A.R.T is a utility that moni-

Parallel Port
There is a built-in parallel port on the on-board Super I/O chipset that provides

[Disabled]
[3BC] Line Printer port 0
[278] Line Printer port 2
[378] Line Printer port 1
Parallel Port Mode
[Normal] Standard Parallel Port
[EPP] Enhanced Parallel Port
[ECP] Extended Capability Port
[ECP + EPP] Extended Capability Port + Enhanced Parallel Port
[Bi-Directional]
To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose
[Normal]. To operate the onboard parallel port in the EPP mode simultaneously,
choose [EPP]. By choosing [ECP], the onboard parallel port will operate in ECP
mode only. Choosing [ECP + EPP] will allow the onboard parallel port to support
both the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously.
