Installation Procedures
The battery that came with the workstation is permanently installed on the
system board. If the original battery becomes inoperative, you must install a
second battery.
WARNING:
The system board contains a clock/CMOS lithium
battery. The lithium battery may explode if mistreated. The
battery is soldered in place and may not be removed. Do not
abuse or disassemble. Use only replacement batteries supplied
by Compaq Computer Corporation.
To install the replacement battery, follow these steps:
1. If the workstation is on, turn it off, then unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet.
2. Remove the workstation cover and the expansion board cage.
3. Remove and discard the protective covering on the adhesive on the hook
and loop fastener on the back of the battery and attach the battery to the
side of the power supply.
4. Plug the battery connector onto pins 1-4 on the system board.
