IBM PC300PL (Type 6562, 6592) - 187 POST error
Applicable to: World-Wide
SYMPTOM:
After powering on the system, the following 187 POST error is returned:
"187 Clear Administration Password"
PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
This tip applies to the IBM PC300PL Series 6562/6592 systems.
Under normal conditions, the 187 POST error will only be returned when the system CMOS has been cleared using the Clear CMOS jumper J15.
The intermittent 187 POST error condition may be observed if a device connected to the parallel port is powered on prior to powering on the system.
FIX:
The 187 POST error condition can be corrected by either of the following methods:
1. Power on parallel port devices after powering on the system.
2. Once the 187 POST error has occurred, exit the Setup utility without saving any changes. The system will then boot normally.
If the 187 POST error condition becomes persistent, or the customer is unable to power on the system prior to powering on parallel port devices, contact the appropriate IBM HelpCenter for further assistance.
