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.
