You are unable to install a modem because the existing on-board serial port is set to the IRQ required by the new modem. Which menu in the BIOS setup program should you select to modify this setting?
  1. Peripherals
  2. Startup options
  3. System security
  4. Power
Explanation
Answer: A - Go to the peripherals option in the BIOS to make any changes to ports or external device settings.

Key Takeaway: All hardware devices on the computer use a specific IRQ. Many times, two devices may have been accidentally allotted the same IRQ. This causes one of the devices to stop functioning properly. Hence it is a good practice to assign an IRQ manually when using many devices.
