Message: 1802: Unauthorized network card is plugged in – Power off and
remove the miniPCI network card.
Solution: The attached mini-PCI network card is not supported on this
system. Remove it.
Message: The power-on or supervisor password prompt
Solution: If the power-on password prompt appears when you turn on your
computer, a power-on password is set. If the supervisor password prompt

place. If you forget your supervisor password, IBM will not reset your
password. You must take your computer to an IBM reseller or IBM marketing
representative to have the system board replaced. Proof of purchase is
required, and a fee will be charged for parts and service.

drive replaced. Proof of purchase is required, and a fee will be charged for
parts and service.
