Service Guide Coverage
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.
FRU Information

System Utilities

CMOS Setup Utility

CMOS setup is a hardware configuration program built into the system ROM, called the complementary metal­oxide semiconductor (CMOS) Setup Utility. 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 CMOS 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.
CMOS 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 CMOS Setup Utility, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots immediately after you close the Setup.
NOTE: CMOS Setup Utility will be simply referred to as “BIOS”, "Setup", or "Setup utility" in this guide.
The screenshots used in this guide display default system values. These values may not be the same those found in your system.
Chapter 2 11

Entering CMOS setup

1. Turn on the server and the monitor. If the server is already turned on, close all open applications, then restart the server.
2. During POST, press Delete. If you fail to press Delete before POST is completed, you will need to restart the server. The Setup Main menu will be displayed showing the Setup’s menu bar. Use the left and right arrow keys
to move between selections on the menu bar.

Navigating Through the Setup Utility

Use the following keys to move around the Setup utility.
Left and Right arrow keys – Move between selections on the menu bar.
Up and Down arrow keys – Move the cursor to the field you want.
PgUp and PgDn keys – Move the cursor to the previous and next page of a multiple page menu.
Home – Move the cursor to the first page of a multiple page menu.
End – Move the cursor to the last page of a multiple page menu.
+ and - keys – Select a value for the currently selected field (only if it is user-confi g u rab l e ). Press
these keys repeatedly to display each possible entry, or the Enter key to choose from a pop-up menu.
NOTE: Grayed-out fields are not user-configurable.
Enter key – Display a submenu screen.
NOTE: Availability of submenu screen is indicated by a (>).
Esc – If you press this key:
On one of the primary menu screens, the Exit menu displays.
On a submenu screen, the previous screen displays.
When you are making selections from a pop-up menu, closes the pop-up without making a
selection.
F1 – Display the General Help panel.
F6 – Press to load optimized default system values.
F7 – Press to load fail-safe default system values.
F10 – Save changes made the Setup and close the utility.

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.
NOTE: When Post executes a task, it uses a series of preset numbers called check points to belatched atport
80h, indicating the stages it is currently running. This latch can be read and shown on a debug board.The following table describes the BIOS common tasks carried out by POST . Each task is denoted by an unique check point number. For other unique check point numbers that are not listed in the table, refer to the corresponding product service guide.
Post Checkpoints List: The list may vary accordingly depending on your BIOS
Bootblock Initialization Code Checkpoints
Checkpoint Description
Before D0 If boot block debugger is enabled, CPU cache-as-RAM functionality is enabled at this
point. Stack will be enabled from this point.
D0 Early Boot Strap Processor (BSP) initialization like microcode update, frequency and other
CPU critical initialization. Early chipset initialization is done.
D1 Early super I/O initialization is done including RTC and keyboard controller. Serial port is
enabled at this point if needed for debugging. NMI is disabled. Perform keyboard controller BAT test. Save power-on CPUID value in scratch CMOS. Go to flat mode with 4GB limit
and GA20 enabled. D2 Verify the boot block checksum. System will hang here if checksum is bad. D3 Disable CACHE before memory detection. Execute full memory sizing module. If memory
sizing module not executed, start memory refresh and do memory sizing in Boot block
code. Do additional chipset initialization. Re-enable CACHE. Verify that flat mode is
enabled. D4 Test base 512KB memory. Adjust policies and cache first 8MB. Set stack. D5 Bootblock code is copied from ROM to lower system memory and control is given to it.
BIOS now executes out of RAM. Copies compressed boot block code to memory in right
segments. Copies BIOS from ROM to RAM for faster access. Performs main BIOS
checksum and updates recovery status accordingly. D6 Both key sequence and OEM specific method is checked to determine if BIOS recovery is
forced. If BIOS recovery is necessary, control flows to checkpoint E0. See Bootblock
Recovery Code Checkpoints section of document for more information. D7 Restore CPUID value back into register. The Bootblock-Runtime interface module is
moved to system memory and control is given to it. Determine whether to execute serial

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"
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".
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.
