A memory parity failure occurred during testing of the system board. Action: Run the diagnostic tests to verify that a problem exists in the memory-module kits. See the system memory table in Installing Options in Your Personal Computer to see if you can reconfigure (swap) your system memory to aid in identifying the defective memory module. If you cannot identify the defective memory module in this way, have the computer serviced. An adapter read-only memory (ROM) error occurred. Action: If you can start the computer without the adapters installed, remove all option adapters, reinstall them one at a time, and retest after reinstalling each one. When an adapter causes a failure, replace it. If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the system unit serviced. A hardware error occurred. Action: Have the computer serviced. The battery on the system board is dead. CAUTION: Danger of explosion if lithium battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of batteries as required by local ordinances or regulations. Action: Until you replace the battery, the computer can be used. However, you will have to run the Configuration/Setup Utility program and set the time and date each time the computer is turned on.
