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.
22
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:

Spread
Spectrum
When the system clock generator pulses,
the extreme values of the pulse generate
excess EMI. Enabling pulse spectrum
spread modulation changes the extreme
values from spikes to flat curves, thus
reducing EMI. This benefit may in some
case be outweighed by problems with
timing-critical devices, such as a
clock-sensitive SCSI device.

applications can make use of those
instructions to better process large
amounts of data quickly.
When disabled, the processor’s SSE and
SSE2 instruction sets are disabled.
Software applications will not be able to use
those instructions to process multiple data
elements simultaneously. However, the
processor’s MMX instruction set will still
be available for use. It is highly
recommended that you leave this BIOS

Spread
Spectrum
When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the
extreme values (spikes) of the pulses create 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
overlooking because even a slight jitter can introduce
a temporary boost in clock speed which may just
cause your over lock ed processor to lock up.
