You can operate the server module without a battery; however, the server module configuration information maintained by the battery in
NVRAM is erased each time you remove power from the server module. Therefore, you must reenter the system configuration
information and reset the options each time the server module boots until you replace the battery.
Steps
1. Reenter the time and date through the System Setup.
2. Remove the server module from the enclosure for at least one hour.
3. Install the server module in the enclosure.
4. Enter the System Setup.
If the date and time are not correct in the System Setup, replace the battery. If the problem is not resolved by replacing the battery,
see the Getting help section.
NOTE:
If the server module is turned off for long periods of time (for weeks or months), the NVRAM may lose its
system configuration information. This situation is caused by a defective battery.
NOTE:
Some software may cause the server module time to speed up or slow down. If the server module operates
normally except for the time maintained by the System Setup, the problem may be caused by a software rather than
by a defective battery.
