I have inherited a PS/2 model 30 (286 AT-bus) but without any
documentation.  After I tried to install a memory card, I started
getting errors at boot time which persist even though I removed the
card.  The symptoms occur during boot just after the memory tests
complete.  Error code "162" appears followed by two beeps and then
error code "163" then a message to press F1.  

If this was a PS/2 with an MCA bus, these symptoms would indicate a
configuration problem. I'd put in the reference diskette and
reconfigure it.  Do model 30s have a reference diskette or do they
have dip switches that need to be modified when you are adding a RAM
card?

If you can give me some hints on this problem please reply by mail.
Thanks.
