Chapter 2 System Utilities CMOS Setup Utility CMOS setup is a hardware configuration program built into the system ROM, called the complementary metaloxide semiconductor (CMOS) Setup Utility. 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.
Entering CMOS setup 1. Turn on the computer and the monitor. If the computer is already turned on, close all open applications, then restart the computer. 2. During POST, press Delete. If you fail to press Delete before POST is completed, you will need to restart the computer. 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.

Chapter 4 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.
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: Check if the power cable is properly connected to the system and AC source. 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.
Checkpoints A checkpoint is either a byte or word value output to I/O port 80h. The BIOS outputs checkpoints throughout bootblock and Power-On Self Test (POST) to indicate the task the system is currently executing. Checkpoints are very useful in aiding software developers or technicians in debugging problems that occur during the preboot process. Viewing BIOS checkpoints Viewing all checkpoints generated by the BIOS requires a checkpoint card, also referred to as a POST card or POST diagnostic card.
Bootblock Recovery Code Checkpoints The Bootblock recovery code gets control when the BIOS determines that a BIOS recovery needs to occur because the user has forced the update or the BIOS checksum is corrupt. Refer to “BIOS Recovery” on page 29 for more information about performing a BIOS recovery. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the Bootblock recovery portion of the BIOS. NOTE: Checkpoints may differ between different platforms based on system configuration.
POST Code Checkpoints The POST code checkpoints are the largest set of checkpoints during the BIOS preboot process. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the POST portion of the BIOS. NOTE: Please note that checkpoints may differ between different platforms based on system configuration. Checkpoints may change due to vendor requirements, system chipset or option ROMs from add-in PCI devices.
Checkpoint 58 Description 3A Initialize RTC date/time. 3B Test for total memory installed in the system. Also, Check for DEL or ESC keys to limit memory test. Display total memory in the system. 3C Mid POST initialization of chipset registers. 40 Detect different devices (Parallel ports, serial ports, and coprocessor in CPU, ... etc.) successfully installed in the system and update the BDA, EBDA…etc.
DIM Code Checkpoints The Device Initialization Manager (DIM) gets control at various times during BIOS POST to initialize different system busses. The following table describes the main checkpoints where the DIM module is accessed. NOTE: Checkpoints may differ between different platforms based on system configuration. Checkpoints may change due to vendor requirements, system chipset or option ROMs from add-in PCI devices.
Beep Codes Beep codes are used by the BIOS to indicate a serious or fatal error to the end user. Beep codes are used when an error occurs before the system video has been initialized. Beep codes will be generated by the system board speaker, commonly referred to as the PC speaker. AMIBIOS displays the checkpoints in the bottom right corner of the screen during POST. This display method is limited, since it only displays checkpoints that occur after the video card has been activated.
Troubleshooting POST BIOS Beep Codes Number of Beeps Description 1,3 Reseat the memory, or replace with known good modules. 6,7 Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system. Consult your system manufacturer. Before declaring the motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the possibility of interference by a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove all expansion cards except the video adapter.
Error Messages The following tables describes the error messages that may appear during POST. Each message is listed with a detailed description of the error. Memory Message Displayed Description Gate20 Error The BIOS is unable to properly control the motherboard’s Gate A20 function, which controls access of memory over 1 MB. This may indicate a problem with the motherboard. Multi-Bit ECC Error This message will only occur on systems using ECC enabled memory modules.
Storage Device Message Displayed Description Primary Master Hard Disk Error The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Primary Master could not be properly initialized by the BIOS. This message is typically displayed when the BIOS is trying to detect and configure IDE/ATAPI devices in POST. Primary Slave Hard Disk Error The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Primary Slave could not be properly initialized by the BIOS.
Message Displayed Description 3rd Slave Drive ATAPI Incompatible The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Slave in the 3rd IDE controller failed an ATAPI compatibility test. This message is typically displayed when the BIOS is trying to detect and configure IDE/ATAPI devices in POST. 4th Master Drive ATAPI Incompatible The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Master in the 4th IDE controller failed an ATAPI compatibility test.
System Configuration Message Displayed Description DMA-1 Error Error initializing primary DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with system hardware. DMA-2 Error Error initializing secondary DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with system hardware. DMA Controller Error POST error while trying to initialize the DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with system hardware. Checking NVRAM..
CMOS Message Displayed Description CMOS Date/Time Not Set The CMOS Date and/or Time are invalid. This error can be resolved by readjusting the system time in AMIBIOS Setup. CMOS Battery Low CMOS Battery is low. This message usually indicates that the CMOS battery needs to be replaced. It could also appear when the user intentionally discharges the CMOS battery. CMOS Settings Wrong CMOS settings are invalid. This error can be resolved by using AMIBIOS Setup.
USB eModule Error Messages Message Displayed Description Warning! Unsupported USB device found and disabled! This message is displayed when a non-bootable USB device is enumerated and disabled by the BIOS. Warning! Port 60h/ 64h emulation is not supported by this USB Host Controller! This message is displayed to indicate that port 60h/64h emulation mode cannot be enabled for this USB host controller. This condition occurs if USB KBC emulation option is set for non-SMI mode.
