[. . . ] Choose "None" if you do not have a second floppy drive. 3. 4. 2 IDE Drives To configure the IDE drives connected to your system, select the parameter that represents the channel and port where the desired hard disk to configure is connected. The options are: IDE Primary Channel Master This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the master port of IDE channel 1. IDE Primary Channel Slave This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the slave port of IDE channel 1. IDE Secondary Channel Master This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the master port of IDE channel 2. IDE Secondary Channel Slave This option lets you configure the hard disk drive connected to the slave port of IDE channel 2. 87 A Open Fortress 7700/7900 The following screen appears if you select any of the IDE Drive parameters: Online Manual Device Detection Mode Device Detection Mode Auto (Default) Manual None If you select "Manual", you need to fill in all remaining field, such as Cylinder, Head, and Sector on this selected item. If the item "Auto" is selected, the items will remain "0". And when the system boot up, system will detect the hard disk and configure it automatically. "None" means there is no device in the channel. Device Type This parameter shows which type of IDE drive currently used. 88 A Open Fortress 7700/7900 Cylinder Online Manual This parameter specifies the number of cylinders of your hard disk, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. Head This parameter specifies the number of heads of your hard disk, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. Sector This parameter specifies the number of sectors of your hard disk, and is automatically set depending on your Type parameter setting. Size This parameter specifies the size of your hard disk, in MB. Hard Disk LBA Mode Hard Disk Block Mode Auto (Default) Disabled This function enhances disk performance depending on the hard disk in use. If you set this parameter to "Auto", the BIOS utility automatically detects if the installed hard disk drive supports the Block Mode function. If supported, it allows data transfer in blocks (multiple sectors) at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle. To disregard the feature, change the setting to "Disable". 89 A Open Fortress 7700/7900 3. 5 Onboard Peripherals Online Manual The Onboard Peripheral Configuration allows you to configure the onboard communication ports and the onboard devices. Selecting this option displays the following screen: 3. 5. 1 Serial Ports 1 and 2 Serial Port 1 & 2 Enabled (Default) Disabled These parameters allow you to enable or disable serial ports 1 and 2. 90 A Open Fortress 7700/7900 3. 5. 1. 1 Base Address Base Address Serial Port 1: 3F8h (Default) 3E8h 2E8h Serial Port 2: 2F8h (Default) 2E8h 3E8h This item allows you to assign address and interrupt for the board serial port. Online Manual 3. 5. 1. 2 IRQ IRQ Serial Port 1: 4 (Default), 11 Serial Port 2: 3 (Default), 10 This function lets you assign an interrupt for serial ports 1 and 2. The options for serial ports 1 are IRQ 4 and 11. The options for serial port 2 are IRQ 3 and 10. The Base Address and IRQ parameters for each port are configurable only if the port is enabled. 91 A Open Fortress 7700/7900 3. 5. 2 Parallel Port Parallel Port Enabled (Default) Disabled This parameter allows you to enable or disable the parallel port. Online Manual 3. 5. 2. 1 Base Address Base Address 378h (Default) 3BCh 278h This item allows you to assign address and interrupt for the board serial port. 3. 5. 2. 2 IRQ IRQ 7 (Default), 5 This function lets you assign an interrupt for the parallel port. The options are IRQ 5 and 7. The Base Address and IRQ parameters are configurable only if Parallel Port is enabled. If you install an add-on card that has a parallel port whose address conflicts with the onboard parallel port, a warning 92 A Open Fortress 7700/7900 appears on the screen. Check the parallel port address of the add-on card and change the address to one that does not conflict. Online Manual 3. 5. 2. 3 Operation Mode Operation Mode EPP (Default) Bi-Directional Standard ECP This item lets you set the parallel port mode. The mode options are Standard, Bi-directional, EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) and ECP (Extended Parallel Port). Setting Standard Parallel Port (Standard) Bi-directional (Bi-directional) Parallel Port Function Allows normal speed one-way operation Allows normal speed operation in a two-way mode Allows bi-directional parallel port operation at maximum speed Allows parallel port to operate in bi-directional mode and at a speed higher than the maximum data transfer rate Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) 93 A Open Fortress 7700/7900 3. 5. 2. 4 ECP DMA Channel ECP Mode Use DMA 3 1 (Default) This item becomes active only if you select Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) as the operation mode. It allows you to assign DMA channel 1 or DMA channel 3 for the ECP parallel port function (as required in Windows 95). Online Manual 3. 5. 3 Onboard Device Settings The Onboard Device Settings menu allows you to configure the onboard communication ports and the onboard devices. Selecting this option from the Onboard Peripherals menu displays the following screen: 94 A Open Fortress 7700/7900 3. 5. 3. 1 Floppy Disk Controller Floppy Controller Disabled Disk This parameter lets you enable or disable the onboard floppy disk controller. Online Manual Enabled (Default) 3. 5. 3. 2 IDE Controller IDE Controller Both (Default) Primary Disabled Set this parameter to "Primary" to enable only the primary IDE controller; "Both" to enable both primary and secondary IDE controllers; or "Disabled" to disable all IDE controllers. 3. 5. 3. 3 PS/2 Mouse Controller PS/2 Mouse Controller Enabled (Default) Disabled This parameter enables or disables the onboard PS/2 mouse controller. 3. 5. 3. 4 USB Host Controller 95 A Open Fortress 7700/7900 USB Controller Disabled Host Enabled (Default) This parameter lets you enable or disable the USB controller on board. When enabled, it activates the USB function of the system. When disabled, it deactivates the function. Online Manual 3. 5. 3. 5 USB Legacy Mode USB Legacy Mode Enabled Disabled (Default) This parameter lets you enable or disable the USB controller on board. [. . . ] The part number, serial number and BIOS version are also very helpful. Part Number and Serial Number The Part Number and Serial number are printed on bar code label. You can find this bar code label on the outside packing, on ISA/CPU slot or on component side of PCB. For example: Part No. Serial No. Part No. P/N: 91. 88110. 201 is part number, S/N: 91949378KN73 is serial number. [. . . ]
