General information
Before using this information and the product it supports, read the following general
information.
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.
When ordering FRU parts: 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 may not be noted in this printed service guide.
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.
