Preface
Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information.

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.

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. 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

Entering Setup
To enter Setup, press the key combination
NOTE: You must press

simultaneously while the system is booting.

Hard Disk Block Mode

This function enhances disk performance depending
on the hard disk in use. If you set this parameter to

installed hard disk drive supports the Block Mode
function. If supported, it allows data transfer in blocks
(multiple sectors) at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle.

Select Auto to let BIOS automatically configure the plug- Auto or Manual
and-play (PnP) devices installed in your system.
Otherwise, select Manual.
Note: Refer to your PCI card manual for technical
information.

PCI Slot 1

When you set the PCI IRQ Setting parameter to Auto,
these parameters specify the auto-assigned interrupt for
each of the PCI devices. If you set the PCI IRQ Setting
parameter to Manual, you need to specify the interrupt
that you want to assign for each PCI device installed in
your system.

User input

PCI IRQ Sharing

Setting this parameter to Yes allows you to assign the
same IRQ to two different devices. To disable the
feature, select No.

Yes or No

Note: If there are no IRQs available to assign for the
remaining device function, we recommend that you
enable this parameter.
VGA Palette Snoop

This parameter permits you to use the palette snooping
feature if you installed more than one VGA card in the
system. The 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.

Disabled or Enabled

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

Graphics Aperture Size

This parameter determines the effective size of the
graphics aperture. Graphics aperture is the address
range that the AGP video and the CPU use to manage
graphical objects. The lowest setting is 8 MB and the
highest is 256 MB.

User input

Plug and Play OS

When this parameter is set to Yes, BIOS initializes only
PnP boot devices such as SCSI cards. When set to No,
BIOS initializes all PnP boot and non-boot devices such
as sound cards.

Yes or No

Note: Set this parameter to Yes only if your operating
system is Windows 95/98/2000.
Reset Resource
Assignments

Set this parameter to Yes to avoid IRQ conflict when
installing non-PnP or PnP ISA cards. This clears all
resource assignments and allows BIOS to reassign
resources to all installed PnP devices the next time the
system boots. After clearing the resource data, the
parameter resets to No.

Index of Error Codes and Error Beeps

Index of Error Symptoms

Undetermined Problems

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

Interrupt system

Three programmable timers

ROM subsystem

RAM subsystem

RTC RAM subsystem and real time clock/calendar with battery backup

Onboard serial interface controller

Onboard parallel interface controller

Embedded hard disk interface and one diskette drive interface

Keyboard and auxiliary device controllers

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 75.
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 79.
NOTE: 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.
