Overview
The AcerPower 8600 is an all-in-one, high-performance system
that supports the Intel Pentium III CPU. It utilizes the PCI
(Peripheral Component Interface) and the AGP (Accelerated
Graphics Port) bus designs. Both designs improve system
performance, enabling the system to support various
multimedia functions and applications.
Aside from the standard I/O (Input/Output) interfaces such as
two serial ports, one parallel port, and PS/2 keyboard and mouse
ports, the system also comes with two USB (Universal Serial Bus)
ports, one mono Microphone-in port, one stereo Line-in port, one
Line-out port, and one Game/MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital
Interface) port. These additional ports are included to enable the
system to accommodate additional peripherals.
The system may also come with an onboard AGP video
controller, an interface for LCD, a TV out port, an onboard
audio controller, an external fax/modem card and/or a
network card. These additional features offer special functions
that will enable you to take full advantage of the system.
Special features such as hardware monitoring, USB, power
management, video and audio functions are discussed in this
manual.
Furthermore, this system is fully compatible with MS-DOS v6.X,
OS/2, SCO UNIX, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT operating
systems.
