POST Message 162 163 Description A change in device configuration occurred. This message displays 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. An external device is not turned on. Processor update code has not been installed or cannot be found. The Erasing Lost or Forgotten Passwords procedure was performed. This 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, or you erased passwords, you must save the new configuration before exiting from the Configuration/Setup Utility Program. 4. If you added or changed a microprocessor, you must update system programs. See "Updating System Programs" on page 22 for instructions. 5. If you did not add, remove, or change the location of a device, the device is probably failing. Running the diagnostic programs might isolate the failing device. See "IBM Enhanced Diagnostics" on page 116 for more information. If the problem cannot be 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 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. 90 PC 300GL User Guide
