 IrDa 1.0 and ASKIR protocols

Another two chipsets connected to the LPC bus provided connectivity to another two serial

port connectors (COM3 and COM4).

2.8.3.3 Super I/O Enhanced Hardware Monitor

The Super I/O Enhanced Hardware Monitor monitors three thermal inputs, VBAT

internally, and eight voltage monitor inputs. These hardware parameters are reported in

the BIOS and can be read from the BIOS Hardware Health Configuration menu.

2.8.3.4 Super I/O Fan Speed Controller

The Super I/O fan speed controller enables the system to monitor the speed of the fan.

One of the pins on the fan connector is reserved for fan speed detection and interfaced to

the fan speed controller on the Super I/O. The fan speed is then reported in the BIOS.

2.8.3.5 Super I/O Parallel Port

The Super I/O parallel port (LPT) supports standard mode, enhanced mode and

high-speed mode parallel port devices. The LPT is compliant with the following LPT

modes.

 Standard

mode

o

Bi-directional SPP compliant

 Enhanced

mode

o

EPP v1.7 compliant

o

EPP v1.9 compliant

 High-speed

mode

o

ECP, IEEE 1284 compliant

2.8.3.6 Super I/O Keyboard Controller

The Super I/O keyboard controller can execute the 8042 instruction set. Some of the

keyboard controller features are listed below:

 The 8042 instruction is compatible with a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse

 Gate A20 and Keyboard reset output
