Acer eDataSecurity Management
Acer eDataSecurity Management is a handy file encryption utility that protects the files from being accessed by unauthorized persons. It is conveniently integrated with Windows Explorer as a shell extension for quick and easy data encryption and decryption and also supports on-the-fly file encryption for MSN Messenger and Microsoft
Outlook.
There are two passwords that can be used to encrypt and decrypt a file: the supervisor password and the filespecific password. The supervisor password is a “master” password that can decrypt any file on the system. The file-specific password is assigned when you encrypt each individual file.
Acer eDataSecurity Management setup wizard will prompt for a supervisor password and default file-specific password. This file-specific password will be used to encrypt files by default, or you can choose to enter your own file-specific password when encrypting a file.
Note: The password used to encrypt a file is the unique key that the system needs to decrypt it. If you lose the password, the supervisor password is the only other key capable of decrypting the file. If you lose both
passwords, there will be no way to decrypt the encrypted files! Be sure to safeguard all related password.

System Utilities
BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built in the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) of computer. Generally speaking, the computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility.
However, if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run Setup. Otherwise, you can also refer to
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises.
Invoking BIOS Setup
To activate the BIOS Utility, press F2 during POST (when “Press <F2> to enter Setup” message is prompted on the left-bottom side of the screen).
There are six prime items in the BIOS Setup Utility. They are Information, Main, Advanced, Security, Boot and Exit.
In the coming pages, we will explain the BIOS Setup Utility by item.

The Power button should act as the ACPI defined Power button and users can determine its policy through the OS setting like Windows Power Options.
The override feature should be supported to allow the unconditional shutdown by pressing the Power button for more than four seconds.
Lid Switch
The function of Lid switch is defined as below:
•
The LCD backlight should be turned off when the Lid switch is pressed. The LCD backlight will be lighted when the Lid switch is released again. This function is irrelevant to OS and should be always true when the system is powered on.
•
When the system is running under ACPI mode, the function of the Lid switch should follow the OS setting.
Auto-Dim
The system supports an automatic dimming of the LCD brightness when the AC power source is not available
(running on battery power). However, the users still can manually adjust the LCD brightness by their need. The current user setting of brightness (along with current power source) will be saved across power down and be restored at the next boot or resume.

Machine Disassembly and Replacement
General Information
This chapter contains step-by-step procedures on how to disassemble the notebook for maintenance and troubleshooting.
To disassemble the computer, you need the tools below:
•
Wrist ground strap and conductive mat for preventing electrostatic discharge
•
Small Philips screw driver
•
Plastic flat head screw driver
•
Hexagonal driver
•
Tweezers
Note: The screws for the different components vary in size. During the disassembly process, group the screws with the corresponding components to avoid mismatch when putting back the components. When you remove the stripe cover, please be careful not to scrape the cover.
Before You Begin
Before proceeding with the disassembly procedure, you have to make sure that:
1. The system and all peripherals are powered off.
2. The AC adaptor and all power and signal cables from the system are unplugged.
3. The battery pack is removed.
Note: There are several types of screws used to secure the main unit. The screws vary in length. Please refer to the screws table after the flowchart. Group the same type of screws together during service disassembling.
Please also remember the screw location for each screw type. If you fasten the screws on the wrong location, the long screws may cause irrecoverable damage to the main board.
