IBM PC750 - False 162 POST errors
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
IBM PC 700 series systems, 6885 and 6886 which utilize the 210 watt power supply, FRU P/N06H2968, may display a false 162 POST error after AC power is applied to the system, then removed and reapplied (Power on, power off, pull AC line cord, reattach AC line cord - power on).
Problem Isolation Aids:
This tip applies to 6885 and 6886 ISA and Micro Channel systems that display 162 POST errors after the system unit has been powered on, powered off and the AC line cord is unplugged when the AC line cord is reattached, and the system is powered on, a 162 POST error is displayed. The same symptom may be observed if the system is connected to a power strip. When the ENTER key is pressed to access the Setup Utility after receiving the 162 error, there are NO changes highlighted or arrows next to any of the menu items on the initial Setup Utility screen. This indicates that there were no configuration changes made and the 162 error is false.
Fix:
Replace the power supply.
If failures persist after replacing the power supply, continue normal problem determination procedures.
