Description
163
The clock is not working correctly.
Action:
Set the correct date and time. If the date and time are set
correctly and saved and the 163 error message reappears, replace
the battery.
If this does not correct the problem, have the computer serviced.
Note:
The computer can be used until it is serviced, but any
application programs that use the date and time will be
affected.
164
A change in the memory configuration occurred. This error can be
caused by adding, removing, or incorrectly installing memory.
Note:
The computer can be used with decreased memory capacity
until the error is corrected.
Action:
1. If you added memory, see Installing Options in Your Personal
Computer and “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility
Program” on page 33 of this booklet to verify that the new
memory is correct for your computer, and that it is installed
and configured correctly.
2. If you added or removed memory, you must save the new
configuration in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Refer to the Important text box on page 34 for further
information and instructions on saving the configuration.
3. Running the diagnostic programs might isolate the location of
the problem DIMM and provide additional information. (See
“Diagnostic Programs” on page 95 for information about
diagnostic programs provided with your computer.)
If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the computer
serviced.
175
The primary copy of secure data is damaged. This can occur if the
computer is turned off while the Configuration/Setup Utility
program is updating the administrator password or startup
sequence.
Action:
POST will attempt to use the alternate copy of secure
data to correct the primary copy. If the operation is successful, the
administrator password and startup sequence will remain as they
were before the Configuration/Setup Utility program was invoked
and this error will not appear during the next power-on. If the
operation is not successful, other POST errors might appear and
the system board must be replaced.
