The parallel port bracket can used to add an additional parallel port for additional
parallel devices. There are four options for parallel port operation:
Compatible (Standard mode)
Bi-Directional (PS/2 compatible)
Bi-Directional EPP. A driver from the peripheral manufacturer is required for
operation.
Bi-Directional High-speed ECP

2.5.5 IDE port Connector: IDE1/ IDE2
The CPU card SYS7180VE provides a bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces. These
interfaces support PIO Mode 3, PIO Mode 4, ATAPI devices (e.g., CD-ROM), and Ultra
DMA/33/66/100 synchronous-DMA mode transfers. The BIOS supports logical block
addressing (LBA) and extended cylinder head sector (ECHS) translation modes. The BIOS
automatically detects the IDE device transfer rate and translation mode.
Programmed I/O operations usually require a substantial amount of processor
bandwidth. However, in multitasking operating systems, the bandwidth freed by bus
mastering IDE can be devoted to other tasks while disk transfers are occurring.
