Replacing the Lithium Battery
Your server comes with a Lithium 3 V dc wafer-style battery. If your server ever fails
to retain the correct date, time, or configuration settings when it is turned on, you
need to replace the battery.
To replace the Lithium battery, perform the following:
1. If you have not already done so, record server configuration settings using
the SCU.
2. Turn off your server.
3. Disconnect external devices, ac power, and monitor power.
4. Unlock and remove the side panel.
5. Insert the tip of a small flat-bladed screw driver, or equivalent, under the
plastic tab on the snap-on plastic retainer.
Gently lift up and pull back on the retainer to remove it from the Lithium
battery socket.
6. Remove the old battery from its socket.
WARNING:
There is a danger of battery explosion if a lithium
battery is incorrectly replaced. To prevent damage to your
computer, be sure the + side faces up when installing a new
battery. Also, be sure you replace the battery with either a Digital
(P/N 12-41474-05), Toshiba (P/N CR2032), or equivalent 3 V dc
lithium battery.
Depending on your locality, your computer’s battery might be
considered hazardous waste. Make sure you follow any state or
local statute to properly dispose of the old battery.
