Chapter 237 BIOS Setup Utility The BIOS Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/ Output System). Your computer is already properly configured and optimized, and you do not need to run this utility. However, if you encounter configuration problems, you may need to run Setup. Please also refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting when problem arises. To activate the BIOS Utility, press m during POST. Navigating the BIOS Setup Utility There are two menu options: Startup and Exit Follow these instructions: TTo choose a menu option, use the cursor left/right keys (zx). TTo choose a parameter, use the cursor up/down keys ( wy). TUse key to select a control. Then press button or e key to accept entries. TTo change the value of a parameter, please follow the directions on each screen. If you like to assign the boot device, please go to Boot Device then use the cursor up/down keys ( wy) to select a boot device. System Utilities Chapter 2
38Chapter 2 Startup The Startup screen displays a summary of your computer hardware information, and also includes basic setup parameters. After you enter BIOS, you will first see the system information on the first page, then you can useuse the cursor up/down keys ( wy) to select the parameter you like to change. NOTE: The screen above is for reference only. Actual values may differ. . The items in this screen are important and vital information about your computer. If you experience computer problems and need to contact technical support, this data helps our service personnel know more about your computer. ParameterDescription Date and Time Sets the system date and time. Please use key going to the item you like to change. Boot Device Sets the boot device of the system.
Chapter 239 Exit The Exit screen contains parameters that help safeguard and protect your computer from unauthorized use. The table below describes the parameters in this screen. ParameterDescription Save and Reboot Saves changes made and reboot the system. Exit (No Save) Discards changes made and exits the BIOS Setup Utility. Default Settings Loads default settings for all parameters.
40Chapter 2 BIOS Flash Utility The BIOS flash memory update is required for the following conditions: TNew versions of system programs TNew features or options TRestore a BIOS when it becomes corrupted. Use the Phlash utility to update the system BIOS flash ROM. NOTE: If you do not have a crisis recovery diskette at hand, then you should create a Crisis Recovery Diskette before you use the Flash utility. NOTE: Do not install memory-related drivers (XMS, EMS, DPMI) when you use the Flash. NOTE: Please use the AC adaptor power supply when you run the Flash utility. If the battery pack does not contain enough power to finish BIOS flash, you may not boot the system because the BIOS is not completely loaded. Fellow the steps below to run Flash utility. 1.Prepare a bootable diskette. 2.Copy the Flash utilities to the bootable diskette. 3.Then boot the system from the bootable diskette. The Flash utility has auto-execution function. System Diagnostic Diskette IMPORTANT: 1The diagnostics program we use for Aspire 1300 is not exactly the same as PQA (Product Quality Assurance), the diagnostic program we used to employ in other model. The system diagnostic utilities is provided by Acer Headquarters. You can utilize it as a basic diagnostic tool. To get this program, find it in the Aspire 1300- service CD kit. To better fit local service requirements, your regional office MAY have other diagnostic program. Please contact your regional offices or the responsible personnel/channel to provide you with further technical details. The diagnositc program contains a readme file. Please read the readme file as you run the diagnostic program. NOTE: For ASSY Function Test Procedure, please prepare the following items for system components test: DIO loopback, SYS_card (Card Bus), AC-adapter, keyboard, and feather. Please follow the directions below to create a diagnostic diskette. Prepare a bootable diskette in advance. Then extract Aspire 1300 zip file to the bootable diskette. When the pop-out message asks you if you like to replace file: command.com with comand.com, please click No. Next, the pop-out message will ask you if you like to replace file: config.sys with config.sys, click Yes. Then the pop-out window will display the last message asking you if you like to replace file: AUTOEXEC.BAT with the file AUTOEXEC.BAT. Please click Yes. After you create the diagnostic diskette, you can boot the system from the bootable diskette. 1New added description. Please pay attention to it.
