This feature will detect cabling issue and report the approximate distance to the fault or short. Refer to the following information for diagnosing your LAN cable: When No LAN Cable Is Attached. . . If no LAN cable is attached to the motherboard, the Status fields of all four pairs of wires will show Open and the Length fields show 0m, as shown in the figure above. When LAN Cable Is Functioning Normally. . . If no cable problem is detected on the LAN cable connected to a Gigabit hub or a 10/100 Mbps hub, the following message will appear: Start detecting at Port. . . . . Link Detected --> 100Mbps Cable Length= 30m Link Detected Cable Length Displays transmission speed Displays the approximate length of the attached LAN cable. Note: The Gigabit hub will only operate at a speed of 10/100Mbps in MS-DOS mode; it will operate at a normal speed of 10/100/1000 Mbps in Windows mode or when the LAN Boot ROM is activated. If a cable problem occurs on a specified pair of wires, the Status field will show Short and thenlength shown will be the approximate distance to the fault or short. Example: Part1-2 Status = Short / Length = 2m Explanation: A fault or short might occur at about 2m on Part 1-2. Note: Part 4-5 and Part 7-8 are not used in a 10/100 Mbps environment, so their Status fields will show Open, and the length shown is the approximate length of the attached LAN cable. - 45 - BIOS Setup Onboard LAN Boot ROM Allows you to decide whether to activate the boot ROM integrated with the onboard LAN chip. (Default: Disabled) Onboard Serial Port Enables or disables the first serial port and specifies its base I/O address and corresponding interrupt. Options are: Auto, 2F8/IRQ3, 3F8/IRQ4(default), 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3, Disabled. On-Chip USB Configures the integrated USB controller. V1. 1+V2. 0 Enables the integrated USB 1. 1 and USB 2. 0 controllers. (Default) V1. 1 Enables only the integrated USB 1. 1 controller. Disabled Disables the integrated USB 1. 1 and USB 2. 0 controllers. Disabled will turn off all of the USB functionalities below. USB Memory Type Specifies the type of memory allocated for USB devices. Options are: SHADOW (default), Base Memory (640K). USB Keyboard Support Allows USB keyboard to be used in MS-DOS. (Default: Disabled) USB Mouse Support Allows USB mouse to be used in MS-DOS.
