Devices and I/O Ports
Devices and I/O Ports
Software recognizes ports from their port assignments. Each
port must have a unique port assignment. The Configuration/Setup
utility program normally handles this. Special hardware or
software might require a change to these assignments.
Select the Devices and I/O Ports choice to view or change the
assignments for devices and input/output ports.
NOTE:
The infrared connector and Serial B connector
share a single port assignment. By default, the infrared connector
is configured as Disabled.
Serial ports can be added by installing a serial adapter in an
expansion slot. See the documentation that is shipped with
the serial adapter for information about port assignments.
The parallel port can be configured as bidirectional .
In bidirectional mode, the server supports Extended Capabilities
Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP).
NOTE:
When the parallel port is configured as bidirectional,
use an IEEE 1284-compliant cable. The maximum length of the cable
must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet).
To display or change the assignments for devices, or the infrared,
serial, or parallel ports:
NOTE:
If you disable the serial, parallel, infrared ports or the Diskette
drive in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, you might also
need to use the EISA Configuration diskette to make the same changes.
- Select Devices and I/O Ports. from the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
- Select a device or port then,
use the Left Arrow (<) and Right Arrow (>) keys
to advance through the settings available.
The Devices and I/O Ports choice appears only on
the full Configuration/Setup menu.
NOTE:
If an Administration password is set, you must enter the
Administration password to view the full Configuration/Setup menu,
otherwise, a limited set of choices will appear in the Configuration/
Setup menu. If no Administration password is set, the full
Configuration/Setup menu will appear.
