SFA7700 CMOS and Backup Battery Replacement Instructions | 15 

4.

 

With the riser cards and memory modules removed, the baseboard connector for the CMOS 
battery is now visible (Figure 18). Note that there are two connector sockets on the 
baseboard. The correct connection is the one nearest the outside wall of the controller. 

 

 

Figure 19

 

5.

 

To disconnect the CMOS coin cell wires, gently, but firmly grasp both of them approximately 
one inch above the connector and use a minimal amount of pressure to pull the connector 
from its socket. 

 

C

AUTION

Pulling too hard or jerking the wires may disconnect the wire from the connector 
or even damage the baseboard, necessitating replacement of the entire 
controller.

 

 

6.

 

With the CMOS battery fully free of the controller, cut the white zip-tie which holds the 
battery into the bracket (Figure 20). 

 

7.

 

Remove the old battery, then place the new battery in the bracket and secure with the 
included zip-tie.

8.

 

Attach the new CMOS battery wire into the appropriate baseboard connector (Figure 19)
