Serial/Parallel Port Configuration Submenu of the Advanced Menu
The Serial/Parallel Port Configuration submenu
provides the ability to set the I/O addresses and
interrupt levels for the serial, infrared and parallel
ports of your notebook.

C A U T I O N
I/O addresses, DMA channels and Interrupt levels
can be entered in various ways, including via the BIOS
setup utility, the control software for the I/O device,
or the hardware. If any two ports or devices, serial or
parallel, have the same I/O address assigned your
notebook will not function normally. Please keep a
record of original settings before making any changes
in the event that a restoration is required. See your
hardware and software documentation as well as the
setup utility to determine settings, limitations, etc.
P O I N T
To prevent IRQ and address conflicts, avoid changing
the default settings. If you must change the settings,
you can call 1-800-8FUJITSU for technical assistance.
C A U T I O N
The BIOS will warn you of a resource conflict by placing
a yellow asterisk next to each device that is in conflict.
P O I N T
All I/O addresses in Table 5 are in hexadecimal.
