Serial Connector Autoconfiguration
The default designation of the integrated serial connector is COM1. When you add an expansion card containing a serial connector that has the same
designation as the integrated connector, the system's autoconfiguration feature remaps (reassigns) the integrated serial connector to the next available
designation. Both the new and the remapped COM connectors share the same IRQ setting. COM1 and COM3 share IRQ4, while COM2 and COM4 share IRQ3.
Before adding a card that remaps the COM connectors, check the documentation that came with the software to make sure that the software can
accommodate the new COM connector designation.
FigureB-2 illustrates the pin numbers for the serial connector and TableB-2 defines the pin assignments for the connector.

PS/2-Compatible Keyboard and Mouse Connectors
The PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse cables attach to 6-pin, miniature DIN connectors. FigureB-3 illustrates the pin numbers for these connectors and
TableB-3 defines the pin assignments for these connectors.

NOTE: If two COM connectors share an IRQ setting, you may not be able to use them both at the same time. In addition, if you install one or more
expansion cards with serial connectors designated as COM1 and COM3, the integrated serial connector is disabled.
