POST Message 162 163 Description A change in device configuration occurred. This message is displayed under one or more of the following conditions: A new device has been installed. A device has been moved to a different location or cable connection. A device has been removed or disconnected from a cable. A device is failing and is no longer recognized by the computer as being installed. An external device is not turned on. The Erasing or Forgotten Passwords Procedure was performed. This procedure also erases configuration data. An invalid checksum is detected in CMOS memory (nonvolatile RAM). Action: 1. Verify that all external devices are turned on. External devices must be turned on before the computer is turned on. 2. Verify that all devices are properly installed and securely connected. 3. If you added, removed, or changed the location of a device, you must save the new configuration in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Refer to the Important text box on page 64 for further information and instructions on saving the configuration. 4. If you did not add, remove, or change the location of a device, a device is probably failing. Running the diagnostic programs might isolate the failing device. (See "Diagnostic programs" on page 136 for information about diagnostic programs provided with your computer.) If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the computer serviced. 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.
