Battery

A 3.0-V CR2032 lithium coin-cell battery installed on the system board
maintains system configuration, date, and time information in a special
section of memory.

The operating life of the battery can extend up to 10 years. The battery may
need replacing if an incorrect time or date is displayed during the boot
routine along with a message such as:

Time-of-day not set - please run SETUP program

or

Invalid configuration information -

please run SETUP program

or

Strike the F1 key to continue,

F2 to run the setup utility

To determine whether you need to replace the battery, reenter the time and
date through system setup and exit the program properly to save the
information. Turn off your computer and disconnect it from the electrical
outlet for a few hours, and then reconnect the computer, turn it on, and

enter system setup

. If the date and time are not correct in system setup,

replace your battery.

You can operate your computer without a battery; however, without a
battery, the configuration information is erased if the computer is turned off
or unplugged from the electrical outlet. In this case, you must enter system
setup and reset the configuration options.
