Before you begin:



Note: After you replace the battery, you must reconfigure the server and reset the system date and time.


To replace the battery:

  1.  Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords  (see 'Preparing to install options'); then remove the cover  (see 'Removing the left-side cover (tower model)' or 'Removing the cover (rack model)').
  2.  Locate the battery on the system board (see 'System board component locations').
  3.  Remove adapters to allow access to the battery. (See 'Installing a hot-plug PCI adapter'  for information about installing and removing adapters from the hot-plug PCI slots.)
  4.  Remove the plastic dividers between the hot-swap PCI slots to allow access to the battery.
  5.  Remove the battery:

    1.  Use one finger to lift the battery clip over the battery.
    2.  Use one finger to slightly slide the battery toward the rear of the server.
       The spring mechanism behind the battery will push it out toward you as you slide it forward.
    3.  Use your thumb and index finger to pull the battery from under the battery clip.
    4.  Ensure that the battery clip is touching the base of the battery socket by pressing gently on the clip.

     
  6.  Insert the new battery:

    1.  Tilt the battery so that you can insert it into the front of the socket, under the battery clip.
    2.  As you slide it under the battery clip, press the battery down into the socket.

     
  7.  Reinstall any adapters you removed. (See 'Installing a hot-plug PCI adapter' for information  about installing and removing adapters from the hot-plug PCI slots.)
  8.  Reinstall any plastic dividers that you removed.
  9.  Reinstall the top cover and complete the installation (see 'Completing the installation').

    Note: You will have to wait approximately 20 seconds after you plug the power cord of the  server into an electrical outlet for the Power Control button to become active.

  10.  Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and set configuration parameters as needed.
