[. . . ] [Combined Mode]: Parallel ATA and Serial ATA are combined together. [Enhanced Mode]: Enable both Parallel ATA and Serial ATA. Serial ATA 1 Mode / Serial ATA 2 Mode: This item determines the function mode for SATA1 and SATA 2 Port. Both SATA1 and SATA2 will be served each as one single IDE connector after selected as the following modes: Serial ATA Serial ATA Description Port 1 (SATA1) Port 2 (SATA2) · SATA1 serves as IDE-3 Master · SATA2 serves as IDE-4 Master IDE-3 Master IDE-4 Master · OnChip IDE-1 and IDE-2 controller enabled Enhanced · SATA1 serves as IDE-4 Master · SATA2 serves as IDE-3 Master IDE-4 Master IDE-3 Master · OnChip IDE-1 and IDE-2 controller enabled · SATA1 serves as IDE-1 Master Combined IDE-1 Master IDE-1 Slave · SATA2 serves as IDE-1 Slave · OnChip IDE-1 controller disabled Mode User's Manual 3-12 · · · · · · · · · · · · Chapter 3 SATA1 serves as IDE-1 Slave SATA2 serves as IDE-1 Master OnChip IDE-1 controller disabled SATA1 serves as IDE-2 Master SATA2 serves as IDE-2 Slave OnChip IDE-2 controller disabled SATA1 serves as IDE-2 Slave SATA2 serves as IDE-2 Master OnChip IDE-2 controller disabled SATA1 serves as IDE-1 Master SATA2 serves as IDE-2 Master OnChip IDE-1 and IDE-2 controller disabled · SATA1 serves as IDE-2 Master · SATA2 serves as IDE-1 Master · OnChip IDE-1 and IDE-2 controller disabled IDE-1 Slave IDE-1 Master IDE-2 Master IDE-2 Slave IDE-2 Slave IDE-2 Master IDE-1 Master IDE-2 Master SATA Only IDE-2 Master IDE-1 Master OnChip PCI Device: Click <Enter> key to enter its submenu: OnChip USB Controller: This option enables or disables the USB controller. SI-2Ns44X Series BIOS Setup USB 2. 0 Controller: This option enables or disables the USB 2. 0 controller. USB Keyboard Support Via: 3-13 This item allows you to select [BIOS] for using USB keyboard in DOS environment, or [OS] in OS environment. USB Mouse Support Via: This item allows you to select [BIOS] for using USB mouse in DOS environment, or [OS] in OS environment. SuperIO Device: Click <Enter> key to enter its submenu: Onboard Serial Port 1 / Onboard Serial Port 2: This item determines which I/O addresses the onboard Serial Port controller will access. [Auto]: The system automatically select an I/O address for the onboard Serial Port. [3F8/IRQ4, 2F8/IRQ3, 3E8/IRQ4, 2E8/IRQ3]: Allows you to manually select an I/O address for the onboard Serial Port. [Disabled]: Disables the onboard Serial Port. User's Manual 3-14 Chapter 3 Onboard Parallel Port: This item specifies the I/O address used by the parallel port. [Disabled]: This option prevents the parallel port from accessing any system resources. When the value of this option is set to [Disabled], the printer port becomes unavailable. [378/IRQ7]: This option allows the parallel port to use [378/IRQ7] as its I/O port address. The majority of parallel ports on computer systems use IRQ7 and I/O Port 378H as the standard setting. [278/IRQ5]: This option allows the parallel port to use [278/IRQ5] as its I/O port address. [3BC/IRQ7]: This option allows the parallel port to use [3BC/IRQ7] as its I/O port address. Parallel Port Mode: This item specifies the parallel port mode. [SPP]: (Standard Parallel Port) Allows bi-directional parallel port operation at normal speed. [EPP]: (Enhanced Parallel Port) Allows bi-directional parallel port operation at maximum speed. [ECP]: (Extended Capabilities Port) Allows bi-directional parallel port operation at a speed faster than the normal mode's data transfer rate. [ECP+EPP]: Allows parallel port operation at ECP and EPP mode. EPP Mode Select: This item selects the EPP mode. ECP Mode Use DMA: This item selects the DMA channel of the parallel port.
