Replacing the Battery

CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

NOTICE:

To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge

static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s electronic
components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the
computer chassis.

A coin-cell battery maintains computer configuration, date, and time
information. The battery can last several years. If you have to repeatedly reset
time and date information after turning on the computer, replace the battery.

CAUTION:

A new battery can explode if it is incorrectly installed. Replace the

battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

To replace the battery:

1 Record all the screens in system setup (see "System Setup" on page 174) so

that you can restore the correct settings in Step 9.

2 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 101.
3 Remove the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on

page 103).

4 Locate the battery socket (see "System Board Components" on page 106).
5 Carefully press the battery release lever away from the battery and the

battery will pop out.

6 Insert the new battery into the socket with the side labeled "+" facing up,

then snap the battery into place.
