MEMO TO USERS = PTF# U433623 APAR# IX42881 RISC System/6000 Models 220, 230 and 250 lose a day The system date and time must be reset after applying the corrective service for this defect. The initial reboot of the system with this fix applied will have the wrong year. After rebooting the system, you must set the current date and time, then perform an orderly shutdown of the system. In the event this corrective service fix is rejected, you must reset the system clock by removing the battery from the system and waiting 5 minutes. This will cause the system clock to be reset to January 1, 1970. Note that this memo only applies to the models listed above. Other models are not affect are not affected by this change.
