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.

Power Management Functions
Device Standby Mode
T Independent power management timer for hard disk drive devices
(0-15 minutes, time step=1 minute).
T Hard disk drive goes into Standby mode (for ATA standard interface).
T Disable V-sync to control the VESA DPMS monitor.
T Resume method: device activated (Keyboard for DOS, keyboard & mouse for Windows).
T Resume recovery time: 3-5 sec.
Global Standby Mode
T Global power management timer (2-120 minutes, time step=10 minute).
T Hard disk drive goes into Standby mode (for ATA standard interface).
T Disable H-sync and V-sync signals to control the VESA DPMS monitor.
T Resume recovery time: 7-10 sec.
Suspend Mode
T Independent power management timer (2-120 minutes, time step=10 minutes) or pushing external
switch button
T CPU goes into SMM.
T CPU asserts STPCLK# and goes into the Stop Grant State.
T LED on the panel turns amber color.
T Hard disk drive goes into SLEEP mode (for ATA standard interface).
T Disable H-sync and V-sync signals to control the VESA DPMS monitor.
T Return to original state by pushing external switch button.
Suspend to RAM
T The system context is maintained in system memory
T Power is shut to non-critical circuits.
T Memory is retained, and refreshes continually.
T All clocks shut except RTC.
T Return to original state by pushing external switch button & “PME” events at ACPI mode.

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.
