System Battery
A coin-cell battery maintains system 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.
The battery may need replacing if you have repeatedly reset the time and date information after turning on the system or if one of the following messages
appear:
Time-of-day not set - please run SETUP program
or
Invalid configuration information -
please run SETUP program
or
Battery voltage is low
To determine whether you need to replace the battery, see "
Troubleshooting the System Battery
" in "Troubleshooting Your System."
You can operate your system without a battery; however, without a battery, the configuration information is erased if the system is turned off or unplugged
from the electrical outlet. In this case, you must enter the System Setup program and reset the configuration options.

NOTICE:
Use caution when removing and installing the processor. Bending or damaging the processor socket pins will permanently damage the system
board.
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.
CAUTION:
See your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting
against electrostatic discharge.
NOTICE:
If you use a blunt, nonconductive object to depress the tab next to the battery, be careful not to touch the system board with the object.
Ensure that the object is inserted between the battery and the tab before you attempt to depress the tab. Do not pry out the battery. You may
damage the system board by prying off the socket or by breaking circuit traces on the system board.
