Memory Upgrade

The computer has two DIMM sockets. Memory is upgradeable to a maximum of 256 MB, employing 8-/16-/32-/64-/128-MB DIMMs.

Note - DIMMs in both slots should be of the same type. Do not mix different DIMM types, EDO and SDRAM, together.


BIOS

How do I enter the BIOS Setup Utility?

You can access the BIOS Setup Utility by pressing CTRL+ALT+ESC as the system is booting. At the bottom of the second start up screen you should see "To enter setup, press CTRL_ALT_ESC".

Note: If the system displays the Acer Splash Screen, once you hear the beep, you should begin pressing CTRL+ALT+ESC. You may need to press CTRL+ALT+ESC continuously until you access the BIOS setup screen.
