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

Most systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to ru

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. 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.

Chapter 2 22

Entering Setup

To enter Setup, press the key combination b

during the POST (Power-on self-test).

NOTE: You must press b

simultaneously while the system is booting.

The Setup Utility main menu then appears:

The above screen is the BIOS Utility Basic Level screen. It allows you to view and change only the basic configuration of your system.

The command line at the bottom of the menu tells you how to move within a screen and from one screen to another.

PCI/VGA Palette Snoop

Description

This parameter permits you to use the palette snooping feature if you installed more than one

VGA card in the system. The PVI/VGA palette snoop function allows the control palette register

(CPR) to manage and update the VGA RAMDAC

(Digital Analog Converter, a color data storage) of each VGA card installed in the system. The snooping process lets the CPR send a signal to all the VGA cards so that they can update their individual RAMDACs. The signal goes through the cards continuously until all RAMDAC data has been updated. This allows the display of multiple images on the screen.

NOTE: Some VGA cards have required settings for this feature. Check your VGA card manual before setting this parameter.

Chapter 4 64

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.

The main components on the main board that must be diagnosed and/or initialized by POST to ensure system functionality are as follows:

!

!

!

!

Microprocessor with built-in numeric co-processor and cache memory subsystem

Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller (8237 module)

Interrupt system (8259 module) or APIC (advance program interrupt controller)

Three programmable timers (system timer and 8254 module)

!

!

Two RS232 serial ports

One parallel port

!

One PS/2-compatible mouse port

!

NOTE: When Post executes a task, it uses a series of preset numbers called check points to be latched at

.

port 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 correspoing product service guide.

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” on page 73

.

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” on page 77.

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.

NOTE: If you assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also be sure the disk is formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system.

Run Setup

Determine which setting is correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the VIDEO selection.

Configure the system for the new display type/

Be sure the adapter is installed correctly and all cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup.

Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in the bus. Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in

Setup. Also check if any jumper needs to be set correctly on the hard drive.

Make sure the controller is installed correctly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives installed, be sure the Diskette

Drive selection in Setup is set to None.

Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are pressed during the boot.

NOTE: If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL,

BUT KEYBOARD.This will cause BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and continue the boot.

FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) List

This chapter gives you the FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) listing in global configurations of Veriton 7200. Refer to this chapter whenever ordering for parts to repair or for RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization).

IMPORTANT: Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information available on your regional web or channel. For whatever reasons 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 local FRU list provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and service of customer machines.

NOTE: To scrap or to return the defective parts, you should follow the local government ordinance or regulations on how best to dispose it, or follow the rules set by your regional Acer office on how to return it.

NOTE: The number indicates the location shown on exploded diagram or “NS” indicates “Not shown” on it.
