512 MB, 1 GB or 2 GB memory modules. The maximum memory
capacity is 8 GB.
System memory interface
Altos G330 Mk2 has four DIMM slots divided into two memory
channels.
•
•
Channel A - DIMM A1 and DIMM A2
Channel B - DIMM B1 and DIMM B2
System memory configuration guidelines
•
•
•
•
To ensure data integrity, use only Acer-approved DDR2 800
unbuffered ECC modules in 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB capacities.
Use identical modules—same type, banking, stacking technology,
and manufacturer.
The minimum memory configuration is one DIMM, installed in the
DIMM A1 slot (the slot closest to the processor socket).
The system does not support a three-DIMM memory configuration.
45
•
DIMMs on channel A (DIMM A1 and A2) are paired with DIMMs on
channel B (DIMM B1 and B2) to enable two-way interleaving.
When only two DIMMs are being used, the population order must
be DIMM A1 and DIMM B1 to ensure dual-channel operating
mode.
•
•
For best performance and dual-channel interleave operation,
DIMM modules must be installed or removed in matched pairs,
following the slot sequence: DIMM A1 and B1 first, then DIMM A2
and B2.

BIOS overview
BIOS setup is a hardware configuration program built into the system's
Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). Since most systems are already
properly configured and optimized, there is no need to run this utility.
You will need to run this utility under the following conditions.
•
•
•
•
When changing the system configuration settings
When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts
When modifying the power management configuration
When changing the password or making other changes to the
security setup
•
When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are
prompted ("Run Setup" message) to make changes to the BIOS
setup
Note: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery
may be bad. In this case, the system cannot retain configuration
values in CMOS. Ask a qualified technician for assistance.
BIOS setup loads the configuration values in a battery-backed
nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part
of the system RAM which allows configuration data to be retained
when power is turned off.
Before you run the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility, make sure that you have
saved all open files. The system reboots immediately after you close
the Setup.
Note: PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility will be simply referred to as
"Setup" or "Setup utility" in this guide.
The screenshots used in this guide display default system values.

5 System troubleshooting
86
Initial system startup problems
Problems that occur at initial system startup are usually caused by an
incorrect installation or configuration. Hardware failure is a less
possible cause. If the problem you are experiencing is with a specific
application, see the "There is problem with the software program"
87
Initial troubleshooting checklist
Use the checklist below to eliminate the possible cause for the problem
you’re encountering.
•
•
•
AC power is available at the wall outlet?
Is the power supply module properly installed?
Is the system power cord properly plugged into the power supply
module socket? and connected to a NEMA 5-15R outlet for
100-120 V or a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 V?
•
•
Are all peripheral cables correctly connected and secured?
Did you press the power button to turn the server on (power
indicator should be lit green)?
•
•
•
•
Are all device drivers properly installed?
Is the hard disk drive properly formatted and configured?
Are the BIOS configuration settings correct?
Is the operating system properly loaded?
Refer to the operating system documentation.
•
Are all hardware components compliant with the tested
components lists?
•
•
•
Are all internal cables correctly connected and secured?
Is the processor fully seated in its mainboard socket?
Are all standoffs in the proper location and not touching any
components, causing a potential short?
•
•
•
Are all add-in expansion cards fully seated in their slots?
Are all system jumpers correctly set?
Are all switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral devices
correct?
To check these settings, refer to the manufacturer’s
documentation that comes with them. If applicable, ensure that
there are no conflicts (e.g., two add-in boards sharing the same
interrupt).
5 System troubleshooting
88
Hardware diagnostic testing
This section provides a detailed approach to identifying a hardware
problem and its cause.
Checking the boot-up status
Caution: Before disconnecting any peripheral cables from the
server, turn off the system and any peripheral devices. Failure to
do so can cause permanent damage to the system and/or the
peripheral device.
1
2
Turn off the system and all external peripheral devices.
Disconnect all peripheral devices from the system, except for the
keyboard and the monitor.
3
4
Make sure the system power cord is plugged into a properly
grounded AC outlet and in the power cable socket.
Make sure both the monitor and the keyboard are correctly
connected to the system.
5
6
Turn on the monitor.
Set the display brightness and contrast controls to at least two
thirds of their maximum range.
Refer the documentation that came with your monitor.
7
8
9
If the operating system normally loads from the hard drive, make
sure there is no diskette in the FDD and no disc in the ODD.
If the power indicator is lit, attempt to boot from a floppy diskette
or from a disc.
Turn on the system.
If the power indicator did not light up, see the "Power indicator
does not light" item on page 90.
89
Verifying the condition of the storage devices
As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence
of each storage device installed in the system. As each device is
checked, its activity indicator should turn on green briefly. Check the
activity indicators for the hard drive(s), DVD-ROM drive, floppy drive,
and any other 5.25-inch device you may have installed.
If any of these indicators fail to light up, refer to the related problems
listed in the "Component troubleshooting" section.
Confirming loading of the operating system
Once the system boots up, the operating system prompt appears on
the screen. The prompt varies according to the operating system. If
the operating system prompt does not appear, see the "No characters
appear the display monitor" item on page 93.
