Chapter 2 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.
BIOS Navigation Keys The BIOS navigation keys are listed below: Key 19 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 Chapter 2
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].

Disabled Enabled Secondary IDE When these items are enabled, the system will restart the power-saving timeout conunters when any activity is detected on any of the drives on the primary or secondary IDE channel.
PnP/PCI Configurations These options configure how PnP (Plug and Play) and PCI expansion cards operate in your system. Both the ISA and PCI buses on the mainboard use system IRQs (Interrupt ReQuests) and DMAs (Direct Memory Access). You must set up the IRQ and DMA assignments correctly through the PnP/PCI Configurations Setup utility for the mainboard to work properly.
Parameter PCI/VGA Palette Snoop Chapter 2 Description Option Disabled - Data read or written by the CPU is only Disabled directed to the PCI VGA device’s palette registers. Enabled Enabled - Data read or written by the CPU is directed to both the PCI VGA device’s palette registers and the ISA VGA device’s palette registers, permitting the palette registers of both VGA devices to be identical.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting This chapter provides troubleshooting information for the Aspire T130: Chapter 4 T Power-On Self-Test (POST) T Index of Error Messages T Index of Error Codes and Error Beeps T Index of Error Symptoms T Undetermined Problems 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.
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.
Checkpoint Description 11h Reserved 12h Use walking 1’s algorithm to check out interface in CMOS circuitry. Also set real-time clock power status, and then check for override. 13h Reserved 14h Program chipset default values into chipset.
