System Battery
The Compaq ProLiant DL320 server has one memory device that requires a
battery for retaining stored information.
When your server no longer automatically displays the correct date and time,
you may need to replace the battery that provides power to the real-time clock.
With normal use, battery life is usually about 5 to 10 years. Replace used
batteries with Compaq 540-milliampere-hour lithium, 3V replacement
batteries (P/N 179322-001).
System Battery Replacement
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or equipment damage:
■ Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
■ Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
■ Disconnect power from the server or other product by unplugging the
power cord from either the electrical outlet or the server or other product.
Use the following procedure to install a new battery:
1. If the server is on, power down completely. For detailed instructions on
powering down the serve, see “Powering Down the Server” in
Chapter 3, “Installing Hardware Options.”
2. Remove the access panel. See “Removing the Access Panel” in
Chapter 3, “Installing Hardware Options.”
