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 Specifications
Overview
Aspire T130 will use AK32 (Aspire T310) chassis. It will be a low cost K8 solution with memory card reader
and firewire solution.
Aspire T130 is a versatile, high-power system, supporting AMD K8 CPUs (754). The computer uses
Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) and Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) design. This improves system
efficiency and helps the system support varied multimedia and software applications.
Aspire T130 has standard I/O interfaces such as a serial port, parallel port, PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports,
the system includes eight USB port(2 front access, 2 I/O bracket and the rest four have
been occupied by devices), two microphone ports and stereo line-out jacks (one at front and one at
rear panel) and a stereo line-in Jack (in rear panel) . The system can accommodate extra peripheral
equirement through those I/O ports. The system can also support an optional high-speed fax/data modem or
an additional LAN (local area network) card. Furthermore, the system is compatible with Windows XP Home
operating systems.

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.

BIOS Navigation Keys
The BIOS navigation keys are listed below:
Key Function
^ Exits the current menu
zxwy Scrolls through the items on a menu
+-{} Modifies the selected field’s values
u Saves the current configuration and exits setup
l Displays a screen that describes all key functions
p Loads previously saved values to CMOS
q Loads a minimum configuration for troubleshooting
r Loads an optimum set of values for peak performance

Entering Setup
Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test) process. When the message
of “Press DEL to enter SETUP” appears on the screen, press c 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].
The Setup Utility main menu then appears:

Product Information
The screen below appears if you select Product Information from the main menu:
The Product Information menu contains general data about the system, such as the product name,
serial number, BIOS version, etc. These information is necessary for troubleshooting (may be required
when asking for technical support).
The following table describes the parameters found in this menu:
Parameter Description
Product Name Displays the model name on your system
System S/N Displays the system’s S/N
Main Board S/N Displays your main board’s serial number
System BIOS Version Specifies the version of your BIOS utility
SMBIOS Version The System Management Interface (SM) BIOS
allows you to check your system hardware
components without actually opening your system.
Hardware checking is done via software during start
up. This parameter specifies the version of the
SMBIOS utility installed in your system
BIOS Release Date Displays the release date of the BIOS utility
MMM DD,YYYY

Video This item specifies the type of
video card in use. The default
setting is VGA/EGA. Since current
PCs use VGA only, this function is
almost useless and may be
disregarded in the future.
Halt On This parameter enables you to
control the system stops in case of
Power On Self Test errors
(POST).
Base Memory Refers to the portion of memory
that is available to standard DOS
programs. DOS systems have an
address space of 1 MB, but the
top 384 KB (called high memory)
is reserved for system use. This
leaves 640 KB of conventional
memory. Everything above 1 MB
is either extended or expanded
memory.
Extended Memory Memory above and beyond the
standard 1 MB (megabyte) of base
memory that DOS supports.
Extended memory is not
configured in any special manner
and is therefore unavailable to
most DOS programs. However,
MS Windows and OS/2 can use
extended memory.
Total Memory Total base, and extended memory,
and I/O ROM 384KB available to
the system.
