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
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

Phoenix BIOS Setup Utility

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. These values may not be the same those found in your system.
Chapter 2 9

Entering BIOS 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-configurable). 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:
q On one of the primary menu screens, the Exit menu displays.
q On a submenu screen, the previous screen displays.
q When you are making selections from a pop-up menu, closes the pop-up without making a
selection.
F1 – Display the BIOS setup General Help panel.
F5 – Press to load previous default system values.
F6 – Press to load fail-safe default system values.
F7 – Press to load optimized default system values.

If disabled, the system ESCD will update only when the new configuration varies from the last one.
Resources Controlled By When set to auto ESCD, the system BIOS will detect the system
resources and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral.
When set to manual, you have to assign the IRQ and DMA for add-on cards.
IRQ Resources This parameter can be configured if the Resources Controlled By is set

System Troubleshooting

This chapter provides instructions on how to troubleshoot system hardware problems.

Hardware Diagnostic Procedure

IMPORTANT:The diagnostic tests described in this chapter are only intended to test Acer products. Non-Acer
products, prototype cards, or modified options can give false errors and invalid system responses.
1. Obtain the failing symptoms in as much detail as possible.
2. Verify the symptoms by attempting to recreate the failure by running the diagnostic tests or repeating the
same operation.
3. Refer to the table below to determine which corrective action to perform.
Problem Symptom Section to Refer to
Power failure The power indicator does not light up
or stay lit.
POST failure POST does not complete. No beep
or error codes issued.
POST detects an error and displayed messages on screen.
“Power System Check” on page 62
“POST Error and Beep Codes” on page
63.
Chapter 4 61

System Check Procedures

Power System Check

If the system will power on, skip this section. Refer to System External Inspection.
If the system will not power on, do the following:
q Check if the power cable is properly connected to the system and AC source. q Check if the voltage selector switch is set to the correct voltage setting.

System External Inspection

1. Inspect the LED indicators on the front panel, which can indicate the malfunction. For the LED locations and description of their behaviour, see “System LED Indicators” on page 7.
2. Make sure that air flow is not blocked.
3. Make sure nothing in the system is making contact that could short out power.
4. If the problem is not evident, continue with System Internal Inspection.

System Internal Inspection

1. Turn off the system and all the peripherals connected to it.
2. Unplug the power cord from the power outlets.
3. Unplug the power cord from the system.
4. Unplug all peripheral cables from the system.
5. Place the system unit on a flat, stable surface.
6. Remove the system covers.
7. Verify that components are properly seated.
8. Verify that all cable connectors inside the system are firmly and correctly attached to their appropriate
connectors.
9. Verify that all components are Acer-qualified and supported.
10. Replace the system covers.
11. Power on the system.
12. If the problem with the system is not evident, you can try viewing the POST messages and BIOS event
logs during the system startup.
62 Chapter 4

POST Error and Beep Codes

NOTE: Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in FRU/Action column, if the FRU
replacement does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.
The error messages in the following table indicate the BIOS signals on the screen and the error symptoms classified by functions. If the symptom is not included on the list, please refer to “Undetermined Problems”.
NOTE: Most of the error messages occur during POST. Some of them display information about a hardware
device, e.g., the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device, such as the way it has been configured.
NOTE: If the system fails after you make changes in the BIOS Setup Utility menus, reset the computer, enter
Setup and install Setup defaults or correct the error.
