Removing the system battery
If the 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. Under normal use, battery life is 5 to 10 years.
WARNING: The computer contains an internal lithium manganese dioxide, a vanadium
pentoxide, or an alkaline battery pack. A risk of fire and burns exists if the battery pack is not
properly handled. To reduce the risk of personal injury:
• Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).
• Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water.
• Replace only with the spare designated for this product.
To remove the battery:
1. Power down the server (on page 27 ).
2. Extend or remove the server from the rack (" Extending the server from the rack " on page 27 ).
3. Remove the access panel (" Removing the access panel " on page 28 ).
4. Locate the battery (" Internal components " on page 12 ). It might be necessary to remove expansion
boards (on page 46 ) from and around slot 9 to access the battery.
5. Remove the battery.
To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure.
Run the RBSU to configure the server after replacing the battery. See the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User
Guide on the Documentation CD for more detailed information.
