Errors reported against NVRAM can be caused by low Battery voltage and (more rarely) power outages that occur during normal system usage. With the exception of the 25A80000 error, these errors are warnings that the NVRAM data content had to be re-established and do not require any FRU replacement unless the error is persistent. When one of these errors occurs, any system customization (eg. boot device list) information has been lost, the system may need to be re-configured. 2. If the error is persistent, replace the battery. 3. If the error is persistent after battery replacement, or the error code is 25A80000, replace the I/O board. (See notes on 3-1.)
