	This guide documents fault diagnosis for the '''[[IBM PS/ValuePoint]]''' family — machine types '''6381 / 6382 / 6384 / 6387''' (1992–1995). PS/ValuePoint inherits the classic IBM PC/PS/2 POST numeric error code series — 161 / 162 / 163 CMOS battery cluster, 2xx memory codes, 6xx floppy codes, 17xx hard disk codes — plus PS/ValuePoint-specific behaviour around the on-planar SVGA, VLB / PCI riser, and ICS-vs-Chrontel video clock generator.
