Preface
Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general
information.
1. This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC
CONFIGURATION decided for Acer's "global" product offering. To better fit local
market requirements and enhance product competitiveness, your regional office MAY
have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g. add-on card, modem, or
extra memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered in this
generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the
responsible personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details.
2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most
up-to-date information available on your regional web or channel. If, for whatever
reason, a part number change is made, it will not be noted in the printed Service Guide.
For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer office may have a
DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service
Guide. You MUST use the list provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts
for repair and service of customer machines.

System Utilities
The manufacturer or the dealer already configures most systems. There is no
need to run Setup when starting the computer unless you get a Run Setup
message.
The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile
memory called CMOS RAM.
This memory area is not part of the system RAM.
NOTE: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad/flat. In
this case, the system cannot retain configuration values in CMOS.
Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots
immediately after you exit Setup.
16
Entering Setup
Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test) process.
When the message of Press DEL to enter SETUP appears on the screen, press the key
of [Delete] to enter the setup menu.
NOTE: If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter
Setup, restart the system by turning it OFF and On. You may also restart the
system by simultaneously pressing [Ctrl+ Alt+ Delete].
The Setup Utility main menu then appears:

Power-On Self-Test (POST)

Each time you turn on the system, the Power-on Self Test (POST) is initiated. Several items are
tested during POST, but is for the most part transparent to the user.
The Power-On Self Test (POST) is a BIOS procedure that boots the system, initializes and
diagnoses the system components, and controls the operation of the power-on password option. If
POST discovers errors in system operations at power-on, it displays error messages on screen,
generates a check point code at port 80h or even halts the system if the error is fatal.
NOTE: When Post executes a task, it uses a series of preset numbers called check points to be
latched atport 80h, indicating the stages it is currently running. This latch can be read and shown on
a debug board.The following table describes the BIOS common tasks carried out by POST. Each
task is denoted by an unique check point number. For other unique check point numbers that are not
listed in the table, refer to the corresponding product service guide.
Post Checkpoints List: The list may vary accordingly depending on your BIOS

POST Error Messages List

If you cannot run the diagnostics program tests but did receive a POST error message, use POST
Error Messages List to diagnose system problems. If you did not receive any error message, look
for a description of your error symptoms in Error Symptoms List
NOTE: When you have deemed it necessary to replace an FRU, and have done so, you must run
a total system check to ensure that no other activity has been affected by the change. This system
check can be done through the diagnostics program.
NOTE: Check all power supply voltages, switch, and jumper settings before you replace the main
board. Also check the power supply voltages if you have a system no-power condition.
If you are unable to correct the problem by using the BIOS Messages List table and Error
Symptoms List table, go to Undetermined Problems.
To diagnose a problem, first find the BIOS error messages in the left column. If directed to a check
procedure, replace the FRU indicated in the check procedure. If no check procedure is indicated,
the first Action/FRU listed in right column is the most likely cause.

modules. ECC memory has the ability to correct single-bit errors that may
