A Battery Replacement Replacing the Battery The battery that comes with your computer provides power to the real-time clock and has a lifetime of about three years. When replacing the battery, use an equivalent 3-volt lithium coin cell battery. A replacement battery may be purchased at your local retailer or from the Compaq.com Web site. The spare part number for a standard coin cell battery is 153099-001, which corresponds to a CR2032 battery or equivalent.
Battery Replacement CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the workstation or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of together with the general household waste.
Battery Replacement 4. Lift the battery out of its holder. Removing the coin cell battery 5. Slide the replacement battery into position, positive side up. The battery holder automatically secures the battery in the proper position. 6. Replace any expansion boards you removed. 7. Replace the computer cover or access panel. 8. Plug in and turn on the computer. 9. Reset the date and time, your passwords, and any special system setups, using Setup Utility.
B Routine Computer Care and Shipping Preparation Routine Computer Care Follow these suggestions to take care of your computer and monitor: ■ Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 3-inch (7.6-cm) clearance at the back of the system unit and above the monitor to permit the required airflow. ■ Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed. ■ Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking the front vents or air intake.
Battery Replacement CD-ROM Drive Precautions Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or cleaning your CD-ROM drive. Operation ■ Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to malfunction during reading. ■ Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature, as condensation may form inside the unit. If the temperature suddenly changes while the drive is on, wait at least one hour before you turn off the power.
Battery Replacement Shipping Preparation Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship your computer: 1. Back up the hard drive files onto PD discs, tape cartridges, or diskettes. Be sure that the backup media is not exposed to electrical or magnetic impulses while stored or in transit. The hard drive locks automatically when the system power is turned off. 2. Remove and store any program diskettes from the diskette drives. 3.
C Electrostatic Discharge A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. Preventing Electrostatic Damage To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions: ■ Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers. ■ Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
Electrostatic Discharge Grounding Methods There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts: ■ Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 Megaohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
D Power Cord Set Requirements The power supply for your product is provided with Automatic Line Switching (ALS). This feature allows the computer to operate on input voltages between 100–200V or 200–400V. The power cord set (flexible cord or wall plug) received with this product meets the requirements for use in the country where you purchased the equipment. If you need to obtain a power cord for a different country, you should purchase a power cord that is approved for use in that country.
