in this generic service guide. In such cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible
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

Overview
The Acer Veriton FP2 uses Intel newest chipset Intel 815E that not only supports embedded AGP 2X graphics
solution but also provides the flexibility for AGP 4X/2X Graphics cards, and Intel ICH2 that supports Ultra DMA
66 and 100, 4 USB ports, and embedded networking solution. Veriton FP2 supports not only PC-100 SDRAM
but also PC-133 SDRAM for better performance than other products. With Acer’s Hot Swappable Solution,
users can easy access or exchange the storage devices, such as FDD, CD-ROM, DVD, CD-RW or even 2nd
FDD, through two convenient front-end Hot Swappable Bays without turn off the computer. Moreover, Veriton
FP2 provides Acer’s long-term partner a total cost of ownership, that is the LCD Panel module can be
seperated as a LCD Monitor in the future when the system is out of date after two or three years.
