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 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.

Chapter 2 15

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:

The S3 sleep mode is s power-down state in which power is supplied only to essential components such as main memory and wake-capable devices and all system context is saved to main memory. The information stored in memory will be used to restore the PC to the previous state when an wake-up event occurs. S1&S3: Both S1 and S3 will be adopted.

This setting names the interrupt request (IRQ) line assigned to the modem (if any) on your system. Activity of selected IRQ always awakens the system.

This option is used to define the continuous HDD idle time before the HDD enters power saving mode. The setting values are disabled and 1 min to 15 min.

This option is used to set the power down method. This function is only valid for systems using an ATX power supply. When ““instant off” is selected, press the power switch to immediately turn off power. When “delay 4 sec” is selected, press and hole the power button for four seconds to turn off power.

This item allow user set the machine power state when connect the AC power. "Always off" means the machine is always off when power on; "Always on" means the machine will always power on when connect the AC power;

"Pre-State" means the machine state is the same as the last state.

Parameter

Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk

Spread Spectrum

Description

This option allows you to enable/disable the feature of auto detecting the clock frequency of the installed PCI bus.

When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the pulses creates

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The spread

Spectrum function reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at

Disabled for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI, setting to Enabled for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum if you are overlocking because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary boost in clockspeed which may just cause your overlock ed processor to lock up.
