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 informatio n
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.

! Resume recovery time: 3-5 sec.

Global Standby Mode

! Global power management timer (2-120 minutes, time step=10 minute).
! Hard disk drive goes into Standby mode (for ATA standard interface).
! Disable H-sync and V-sync signals to control the VESA DPMS monitor.
! Resume method: Return to original state by pushing external switch button, modem ri ng in,

keyboard and mouse for APM mode.

! Resume recovery time: 7-10 sec.

Suspend Mode

! Independent power management timer (2-120 minutes, time step=10 minutes) or pushing external

switch button.

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.
