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.

“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].

Spread Spectrum  
When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, Enabled  
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.
