Preface

Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the fol-

lowing 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 competitive-

ness, your regional office MAY have decided to extend the functionality of

a machine (e.g. add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability). These

LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered in this generic service

guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsi-

ble 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.
