appears. (Error code

Workstation starts.)

If the Date and Time Are Incorrect

The date and time can be incorrect because the time has changed for
the seasons, or because the PC Workstation has been unplugged from
the power too long, and the Gold Capacitor which supplies power to
the CMOS memory has discharged. To recharge the Gold Capacitor,
plug the PC Workstation into the power for one hour (there is no need
to start the PC Workstation).
You can install an external battery that will keep track of the date and
time if the PC Workstation is unplugged for more than one week (the
external battery connector is shown on page 100). Contact your HP
dealer for complete information about installing an external battery.
Use the Setup program to change the date and time.
