POST Message 163 164 175 Description 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. 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. 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. Chapter 6. Solving Problems 69
