Acer eDataSecurity Management

Acer eDataSecurity Management is a handy file encryption utility that protects the files from being accessed by unauthorized persons. It is conveniently integrated with Windows Explorer as a shell extension for quick and easy data encryption and decryption and also supports on-the-fly file encryption for MSN Messenger and Microsoft Outlook.

There are two passwords that can be used to encrypt and decrypt a file: the supervisor password and the file-specific password. The supervisor password is a “master” password that can decrypt any file on the system. The file-specific password is assigned when you encrypt each individual file.

Acer eDataSecurity Management setup wizard will prompt for a supervisor password and default file-specific password. This file-specific password will be used to encrypt files by default, or you can choose to enter your own file-specific password when encrypting a file.

NOTE: The password used to encrypt a file is the unique key that the system needs to decrypt it. If you lose the password, the supervisor password is the only other key capable of decrypting the file. If you lose both passwords, there will be no way to decrypt the encrypted files! Be sure to safeguard all related password.

Intermittent ProblemsIntermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.

When analyzing an intermittent problems, follow the procedures below:

1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times.

2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.

3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.

Chapter 4 91

Undetermined ProblemsThe diagnostic problems does not identify which devices fail, which devices are incorrectly installed, whether a short circuit happens, or whether the system is inoperative.

NOTE: Verify if all devices attached are supported by the computer.

NOTE: Verify if the power supply used at the time of failure is operating correctly. You can refer to “Power System Check”.

Follow the procedures below to isolate the failing FRU. Do not isolate non-defective FRU.

1. Power off the computer.

2. Visually check the devices. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.

3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:

Non-Acer devices

Printer, mouse, and other external devices

Battery Pack

Hard disk drive

DIMM

CD-ROM / Diskette drive module

PC cards

4. Power on the computer.

5. Determine if the problem has been resolved.

6. If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failed FRU.

7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRU one at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.
