To remove the system battery, follow these steps:
1. If possible, enter the System Setup program, and make a printed copy
of the System Setup screens (see Appendix A).
2. Lay the computer on its right side.
3. Remove any expansion cards installed in the PCI expansion-card slots.
Be sure to record the location of any cables attached to the PCI cards being
removed.
4. Remove the battery.
Carefully pry the battery out of its socket with your fingers or with a blunt,
nonconducting object, such as a plastic screwdriver.
To replace the system battery, orient the new battery with the “+” facing up.
Insert the battery into its socket and snap it into place. Compare the system con-
figuration information with the copy of the system configuration settings you made
in step 1. Restore any system configuration information lost while replacing the battery.
WARNING: There is a danger of the new battery exploding if it is in-
correctly installed. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries accord-
ing to the manufacturer’s instructions.
