Replacing the CMOS battery
If the server clock does not keep time or the settings in the BIOS Setup utility
are not saved when you turn off the server, replace the CMOS battery with an
equivalent battery.
To replace the battery:
1 Print the appendix for BIOS Settings in this guide.
2 Restart your server.
3 Press F2 when the Gateway logo screen appears during startup. The BIOS
Setup utility opens.
4 Record the BIOS settings on your printout, then close the utility.
5 Turn off your server, then follow the instructions in “Preventing static
electricity discharge” on page 25.
6 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 26.
7 Locate the old battery on the system board and note its orientation. You
will need to install the new battery the same way.
Warning Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used
batteries following the manufacturer’s instructions.
