when you turn on the system. When placing the microprocessor in the socket, be sure that all of the pins on the

microprocessor enter the corresponding holes. Be careful not to bend the pins.

If the release lever on the microprocessor socket is not positioned all the way up, move it to that position.

With the pin-1 corners of the microprocessor and socket aligned, set the microprocessor lightly in the socket and

make sure all pins are matched with the correct holes in the socket. Because the system uses a ZIF micro-

processor socket, do not use force, which could bend the pins if the microprocessor is misaligned. When the

microprocessor is positioned correctly, it drops down into the socket with minimal pressure.

When the microprocessor is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket release lever back down until it snaps into

place, securing the microprocessor.

11. Place the new heat sink on top of the microprocessor (see

Figure 5-5

).

12. Orient the securing clip as shown in

Figure 5-5

.

13. Hook the end of the clip without the heat-sink latch to the tab on the edge of the socket facing the front of the

system.

14. Push down and pivot the heat-sink latch until the hole on the clip latches onto the ZIF socket tab.

15. Make sure that the latches engage.

16. Replace the system cover.

17. Reconnect the system and peripherals to the power source, and turn on the system.

18. Press to enter the BIOS Setup utility, and check that the processor information matches the new system

configuration.

NOTE:

If you use a version of Windows 2000 earlier than Service Pack 2, the function keys do not work. You

must press <2>.

See the system User's Guide for instructions.

19. As the system boots, it detects the presence of the new processor and automatically changes the system

configuration information in the BIOS Setup utility.

20. Enter the BIOS Setup utility, and confirm that the top line in the system data area correctly identifies the installed

processor(s).

See "Using the BIOS Setup Utility" in your User's Guide.

21. Run the System Diagnostics to verify that the new microprocessor operates correctly.

See "

Running System Diagnostics

" for information about running the diagnostics and troubleshooting any problems

that might occur.

Replacing the System Battery

NOTE:

Parts of this procedure require you to use the console redirection function on the serial port. See your

System Administrator's Guide for information about connecting to the system through console redirection.

The system battery maintains system configuration, date, and time information in a special section of memory when you

turn off the system. The operating life of the battery ranges from 2 to 5 years, depending on how you use the system (for

example, if you keep the system turned on most of the time, the battery gets little use and, thus, lasts longer).

You might need to replace the battery if an incorrect time or date displays during the boot routine along with a message

about wrong time, invalid configuration information, or bad CMOS checksum.

To determine if you need to replace the battery:

1. Re-enter the time and date through the BIOS Setup utility.

2. Turn off and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet for a few hours.

3. Reconnect and turn the system on again.
