Replacing the CMOS battery
If the server clock does not keep time or the settings in the BIOS Setup utility
are not saved when you turn off the server, replace the CMOS battery with an
equivalent battery.
To replace the battery:
1 Print the appendix for BIOS Settings in this guide.
2 Restart your server, then press F2 when the Gateway logo screen appears
during startup. The BIOS Setup utility opens.
3 Record the BIOS settings on your printout, then close the utility.
4 Turn off your server, then follow the instructions in “Preventing static
electricity discharge” on page 36.
5 Remove the processor board. For instructions, see “Replacing the processor
board” on page 94.
Warning Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of or recycle
used batteries by taking them to a hazardous waste facility.
Follow all local regulations for correct battery disposal.
