This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating
to the BASIC CONFIGURATION decided for Gateway’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.

Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the
most up-to-date information available on your regional web or channel.

noted in this printed Service Guide. For GATEWAY-AUTHORIZED

number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service Guide.
You MUST use the list provided by your regional Gateway office to order
