Removing and Replacing the Battery
Before beginning the replacement process, review General Hardware Installation Sequence
on page 10 for procedures you should follow before and after installing or replacing hardware.
WARNING! Before removing the side access panel, ensure that the thin client is turned off and the
power cord is disconnected from the electrical outlet.
To remove and replace the battery:
1. Locate the battery on the system board.
2. To release the battery from its holder, gently push the metal guard that extends above one edge
of the battery very slightly toward the rear of the unit, then lift the battery out (1).
NOTE: Be careful not to bend the metal guard.

edge of the battery (2).
