Conventions
The following conventions are used in this manual:
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 (such as add-on cards,
modems, or extra memory capabilities). These LOCALIZED FEATURES are NOT
covered in this generic service guide. In such cases, 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.
