Hi You don't mention any specific pattern to the beeps, so I cannot be specific, but I have found a Service Manual for you with a fair amount of detail on beep codes and their meaning. It is in pdf format and can be downloaded and saved for future reference. It can be found here: http://data.manualslib.com/pdf2/24/2333/233244-acer/altos_g710.pdf?fa322e98821bcc2edc2a442f2435164e Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya Cheers

I will not accept that version.

Hello,

You may need to go into your BIOS and make sure it is reconizing your hard drive. If you do not see it, make sure you have the hard drive cable connected correctly and have the latest drivers installed for the drive. (IDE, SATA, SCSI, etc.) Once the BIOS see the drive, you should have no problem. Good Luck

Hi! Turn off computer check cable & power cable connection. Windows 2003 Operating System will not support SCSI Drives.

Replace the hard drive with a drive that is the same type and the same size, or larger. It will rebuild itself.

By same type I mean that the connector on the back of the drive and the speed of the drive interface must be the same. If the new drive spins at a different rate it will not create a problem, except that if it is slower it will make read/writes slower. If it is larger it will only use part of its capacity, matching the capacity of the other drives.

Note that if you were to replace all drives with larger drives (one at a time) the capacity of the entire array would be the same as the original. If you want a larger array it must be built from the start with that larger capacity.

Take out the bad drive. If you can get the exact same drive, do it, otherwise look it up on the manufacturers web site to find out size and type.

While there are a few possible RAID configurations that you could be using on that server, the chances are overwhelming that it is RAID level 5 that you are using. This RAID level is tolerant of a single drive failure. If you lose another drive before your new drive rebuilds your data will be lost. Hopefully you have a backup.

RAID 5 stripes the data and the parity data across all available drives and when a drive fails, the missing data is rebuilt on the fly from the parity data. When a replacement drive is installed the parity data is used to rebuild the data that belongs on that drive. The advantages of RAID 5 are fault tolerance (of a single drive) and speed because each drive only has to provide or write its portion of the total data being accessed or written.

Your Server model has a limitation of max., memory to 8GB I think .

If you go to acer they would help you out directly.

Sounds like a memory error. Have you tried to open up the box and reseat or replace the memory?

If you need Ram, you need to contact your server manufacturer to find a product number for your server and memory model/size.
You can add up 16GB of RAM DDR2.
Many manufacturers also provide compatible memory like Transcend or Kingmax.

Can i help you with anything else ?

1.) Verify that both the local and remote network interfaces are connected AND enabled/configured. 2.) Replace the cable. If the system no longer reports a "Media test failure" error then the physical layer is good. Either your system will begin to PXE boot or you will need to verify that a PXE server is available/reachable in the same subnet/VLAN. (Barring any ACL issues, etc.) Not much else to cover here. Considering this issue closed.

I use a program called "locksmith" which is included on a "commander disk" that I have.

Perfectly normal. It depends on the internal timing of the GPU and the OS version.

it needs service, and service manuals are hard to find on anything by the likes of ACER. this projector worked for 12 long years, did you own it 12 or bought a bad projector, no history told as I can buy dead projectors all day long. and hard nut problems even hacking done. Acer X1110 data projector Standard throw projector.. did you know most projectors have serious grade protective devices inside??? (tamper and overheating are 2) did you read owners manual page 32 yet, errors. LED codes.? there are 4 LED, and all 4 matter, projector turned (ON) (not one =1) also in pairs glowing and also if blinking or not, so read page 32 it tells all that. my guess is overheat failures, even cold, due fan slow or packed in lint after 12 years of use and no service done,. https://manualzz.com/doc/49497108/acer-x1110-user-manual some have dust filtler a shop first cleans is out first, and check fan RPM with and LED tachometer. this is all SOP.
