    Asrock P4i65G IRda

    Hi all,

    I have a question about this MOBO and WinXP: today I went to visit my friend and she was happy for the MOBO, it works well.
    Then she asked me how to use the IrDa device !!
    I didn't see it when I read the MOBO spec and I didn't see it in the HW device configuration when I was checking for any missing driver... but the device is there.
    I checked the User Manual and there's nothing about it.

    How is it possible? Just a weird behavior of WinXP?

    I attach here the snapshot of the device manager and you can see it there, in Italian language its name is "Periferica infrarossi incorporata" that can be translated as "Onboard Infrared Device".

    Has anyone experienced the same thing?
    The PC is working well so it is not a problem but I'm curios to know why it shows a non-existing device.

    Ciao
    Gianni

      its a bios thing.

      you can set up the bios to use the second serial port as an infrared device.
      anyways... its only a (usually) 4pin header somewhere on the mainboard. the IR transmitter/receiver is optional.. which makes it completely senseless to activate it... only thing it does is wasting an IRQ..

      i dont have a PC with an AMI BIOS at hand right now, but it should be somewhere in the "onboard peripherals" section..

      note.. F2 lets you get into the BIOS... not Del as usual..

          f*ckin edit time limit -.-

          ---

          edit: um.. i think i was wrong with the ami bios thing...
          at least this screenshot shows what i mean..

          Advanced -> Peripheral configuration



          "onboard serial port B mode" should be "normal" and not something IR related (Fast-IR or something..)

              Thanks Scenic

              I will try to change settings in the BIOS ASAP and I will let you know .

                  Scenic you were right: in the BIOS there is the Infrared port, I have disabled it and the IRDA Device has disappeared from HW device configuration.
                  I took the BIOS pic but I forgot to take HW device conf.

                  Thank you very much
