Memory Module Problems
If you added extra memory to your system by installing
SIMMs and that memory is not operating properly, check the
following:
1, If the memory count displayed by the power-on
diagnostics program is incorrect, you or your dealer may
not have installed the SIMMs correctly. The SIMMs may
be installed in the wrong sockets, they may be the wrong
type of SIMM, or they may not be inserted all the way
into their sockets.
If your dealer installed SIMMs for you, contact your
dealer; do not attempt to correct the problem yourself. If
you installed them, see “Adding Memory Modules” in
Chapter 5 and make sure you followed all the
instructions.
2. Be sure to run the SETUP program after you install or
remove memory modules to automatically update your
memory configuration. See Chapter 2 for instructions.
3. If you are still having trouble with your SIMMs, write
down any error messages and contact your dealer.
Battery Problems
The battery in your computer is a 3.6 volt, lithium battery. It
should last from three to five years before you need to replace
it. When the battery’s life is exhausted, you may see one of
the following error messages:
CMOS battery state low
CMOS system options not set
Purchase a new battery pack and follow the instructions in
Chapter 5 to install it. (You may want your dealer to install it
for you.)
