A: The following table provides information about the CMOS errors that can be reported by the Gateway® E-9722R server motherboard.

Message Displayed Description
CMOS Date/Time Not Set The CMOS date and/or time are not correctly set. This error can be resolved by readjusting the system time in the BIOS.
CMOS Battery Low The CMOS battery charge is low. The message usually indicates that the CMOS battery needs to be replaced. It could also appear when the user intentionally discharges the CMOS battery, or the system has not had power applied for some time.
CMOS Settings Wrong CMOS settings are invalid. This error can be resolved by correcting BIOS settings.
CMOS Checksum Bad CMOS contents failed the checksum validation check. This indicates that the CMOS data has been changed by a program other than the BIOS, or that the CMOS is not retaining its data due to being cleared, or malfunction. This can typically be resolved by reconfiguring the BIOS.
