Preface
Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information.
1. 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 (e.g.
add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered
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
service of customer machines.

Overview
Aspire T130 will use AK32 (Aspire T310) chassis. It will be a low cost K8 solution with memory card reader
and firewire solution.
Aspire T130 is a versatile, high-power system, supporting AMD K8 CPUs (754). The computer uses
Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) and Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) design. This improves system
efficiency and helps the system support varied multimedia and software applications.
Aspire T130 has standard I/O interfaces such as a serial port, parallel port, PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports,
the system includes eight USB port(2 front access, 2 I/O bracket and the rest four have
been occupied by devices), two microphone ports and stereo line-out jacks (one at front and one at
rear panel) and a stereo line-in Jack (in rear panel) . The system can accommodate extra peripheral
equirement through those I/O ports. The system can also support an optional high-speed fax/data modem or
an additional LAN (local area network) card. Furthermore, the system is compatible with Windows XP Home
operating systems.
