I/O Device Configuration Menu 

The CPU communicates with external devices such as printers through 

devices called  Input/Output (I/O) ports such as serial and parallel ports. 

These I/O devices require the use of system resources such as I/O addresses 

and interrupt lines. If these devices are Plug and Play, either the BIOS can 

allocate the devices during POST, or the operating system can do it. If the I/O 

devices are not Plug and Play, they may require manually setting them in 

Setup. 

On some systems, the chipset manages the communication devices. Other 

systems have, instead, a separate I/O chip on the motherboard for configuring 

and managing these devices.  

Many systems allow you to control the configuration settings for the I/O ports. 

Select "I/O Device Configuration" on the Advanced Menu to display this menu 

and specify how you want to configure these I/O Devices:
