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.

The disk drive software monitors the internal performance of
the motors, media, heads, and electronics of the drive. The
host software monitors the overall reliability status of the
drive. If a device failure is predicated, the host software,
through the Client WORKS S.M.A.R.Tapplet, warns the user
of the impending condition and advise appropriate action to
protect the data.

including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM, and software power

down that allows the system to be automatically resumed by certain events.

Parameter Description Option

ACPI Suspend Type This item specifies the power saving modes for ACPI

function. S1(POS): The S1 sleep mode is a low
power state. In this state, no system context (CPU or
chipset) is lost and hardware maintains all system
context. S3 (STR): The S3 sleep mode is s power­down state in which power is supplied only to
essential components such as main memory and
wake-capable devices and all system context is
saved to main memory. The information stored in
memory will be used to restore the PC to the
previous state when an wake-up event occurs.
S1&S3: Both S1 and S3 will be adopted.

Chapter 4 61

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.

The main components on the main board that must be diagnosed and/or initialized by POST to ensure system
functionality are as follows:

T Microprocessor with built-in numeric co-processor and cache memory subsystem

T Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller

T Interrupt system

T Three programmable timers

T ROM subsystem

T RAM subsystem

T RTC RAM subsystem and real time clock/calendar with battery backup

T Onboard serial interface controller

T Onboard parallel interface controller

T Embedded hard disk interface and one diskette drive interface

T Keyboard and auxiliary device controllers

T I/O ports

T PS/2-compatible mouse port

T PS/2-compatible keyboard port

T Serial ports

T Parallel ports

T USB port

POST Check Points

When POST executes a task, it uses a series of preset numbers called check point to be latched at port 80h,
indicating the stages it is currently running. This latch can be read and shown on a debug board.

The following table describes the Acer common tasks carried out by POST. A unique check point number
represents each task.

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 Sympton 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.

NOTE: 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
