To replace the system battery:
1. Remove the PCI riser board assembly.
2. If necessary, remove any accessory boards or cables that prevent access to the battery socket.
3. Replace the battery.
IMPORTANT: Do not bend the spring latch during battery replacement. For proper operation, the latch must
maintain a position of contact with the battery.
a. Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver or a similar tool between the battery and spring latch to dislodge
the battery from its socket.
b. Lift up the old battery to remove it.
c. Insert a new battery with the positive polarity (+ side) facing up, and ensure that it is seated completely.
Ensure the spring latch is in place, and that it holds the battery firmly.
