Changing the BIOS Language

You can use the BIOS upgrade utility to change the language the BIOS

uses for messages and the Setup program. Use a bootable diskette

containing the Acer flash utility and language files.

1 Boot the computer with the bootable diskette in drive A. The BIOS

upgrade utility screen appears.

2 Select Update Flash Memory From a File.

3 Select Update Language Set. Press <Enter>.

4 Select drive A and use the arrow keys to select the correct .lng file.

Press <Enter>.

5 When the utility asks for confirmation that you want to flash the

new language into memory, select continue with Programming.

Press <Enter>.

6 When the utility displays the message upgrade is complete,

remove the diskette. Press <Enter>.

7 The computer will reboot and the changes will take effect.

Recovering the BIOS

In the rare event that the BIOS becomes damaged, a recovery process

needs to be followed to return the system to service. Two methods are

available to recover the BIOS: automatically with the crisis recovery

diskette, and manually by moving a jumper on the system board. These

methods are described below.

Note: BIOS recovery is the mode of last resort, used only when

the main system BIOS will not come up.

Manually Recovering the BIOS

A BIOS recovery can be manually initiated. This option would be used

only when the BIOS is corrupt, but the ROM checksum error does not

occur during POST. To manually initiate a BIOS recovery, use the

following steps:

1 Power down and uplug the system from the AC power source.
