specifications. In addition to this battery, the CMOS battery
provides power to maintain system configuration settings.
CMOS Battery
This battery provides battery backup and prevents data loss
in the system’s complementary metal oxide semiconductor
(CMOS) RAM. This memory area contains information on
the system’s configuration, for example date, time, drives,
and memory. The CMOS battery lasts approximately two
years. An authorized NEC service technician can replace
the CMOS battery for you.
