Proper Battery Disposal
Handle used batteries carefully. Do not damage the battery in any way; a damaged battery
may release hazardous materials into the environment. Do not discard a used battery in the
garbage or a public landfill. Comply with the regulations set up by your local hazardous waste
management agency to dispose of your used battery properly.
Battery Installation
1. Unplug the power cord.
2. Connect the battery cable into the battery connector (BT1) and push it down until you
hear a click to ensure that the cable is securely locked.
3. The battery is temporarily placed on the heatsink during shipping. Use the foam tape
on the back side of the battery to secure the battery to a flat surface on the bottom of
the motherboard or a proper location in the system. DO NOT place the battery on the
heatsink during operation.
