Default disablement and enablement of a computer serial port.

Can anyone explain how a computer serial port is disabled and enabled? Many Web pages cover the software topics but I've found nothing explaining how a BIOS disables a port. Is is done by clearing any interrupt assignment to the port? Is the power to the UART shut off? Other ways? Probably more than one technique has been used but not a large number.

Can anyone cite a Web page which answers this?

Thanks, ... Peter E.
