Serial Port1/Serial Port2
Select Enabled to enable COM Port1 or COM Port2. The options are Enabled and
Disabled. If this feature is set to Enabled, the following item will display:
Serial Port 1 Setting/Serial Port 2 Setting
This feature allows the user to set the address and IRQ setting to optimize IO
performance for the device installed in COM Port 1 or COM Port 2. The options
for Serial Port 1 are Auto, IO=3F8h, IRQ=4; IO=3F8h, IRQ=4, 10, 11; IO=2F8h,
IRQ=3, 10, 11; IO=3E8h, IRQ=4, 10, 11; and IO=2E8h, IRQ=3, 10, 11. The
options for Serial Port2 are Auto, IO=2F8h, IRQ=3; IO=3F8h, IRQ=4, 10, 11;
IO=2F8h, IRQ=3, 10, 11; IO=3E8h, IRQ=4, 10, 11; and IO=2E8h, IRQ=3, 10,
11.
Serial Port 2 Mode
Use this feature to select the Serial Port 2 mode. The options are Normal,
IrDA and ASK IR. IrDA (Infrared Data) is an industry standard for remote control
devices. ASK IR (Amplitude Shifted Keying Infrared) is a protocol compatible
with Sharp® branded PDAs and other infrared devices.
Hardware Health Confi guration
This feature allows the user to monitor Hardware Health of the system and review
the status of each item when displayed.
Fan Speed Control Mode
This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the
onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlated. When the
CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase for proper
system cooling. Select "Full Speed" to allow the onboard fans to run at full speed
for maximum cooling. The Full Speed setting is recommended for special system
confi guration or debugging. Select "Optimal" for better system cooling. The Optimal
setting is recommended for high-power-consuming and high-density systems. Select
"Standard" for the onboard fans to run at a speed that will balance the needs be-
tween system cooling and power saving. The Standard setting is recommended for
regular systems with normal hardware confi guration. The Options are: Full Speed,
Optimal and Standard.
CPU Temperature/System Temperature/Peripheral Temperature
This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU, the system and
the peripheral devices.
