Replacing the Battery CAUTION: A lithium battery can cause fire, explosion, or a severe burn. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 degrees C (212 degrees F), solder directly to the cell, incinerate, or expose cell contents to water. Keep away from children. Replace only with the part number specified for your system. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion. The battery connector is polarized; do not attempt to reverse polarity.
8. Ensure that the battery polarity is correct. With the positive side of the battery facing out, insert the battery between the front and rear battery mounts and gently push it down into the socket. Note: Be sure to reset the time and date and other system options that might have been lost when the battery was removed. If you are running AIX, you might have to run the bootlist command from AIX while you are logged in as root user.
