Installing a New Battery
Compaq ProLiant ML370 servers include memory devices that require a
battery to retain stored information. These devices, and the battery, are located
on the system board.
System Board Battery Replacement
When your server no longer automatically displays the correct date and time,
you may need to replace the lithium battery that provides power to the real-
time clock. Under normal use, battery life is usually about five to ten years.
For optimal system performance, order a Compaq lithium replacement battery,
type CR2450N, part number 179322-xxx.
After you have completed the battery installation, run the System
Configuration Utility to reconfigure your system.
Installing the System Board Battery
To install the new battery, complete the following steps:
1. If the server is on, place it in Standby mode and disconnect the power.
Refer to Chapter 2, “Installing the Tower Model,” for detailed
instructions on preparing the server for installation or upgrade.
2. For the rack model, pull the server forward in the rack for access to the
inside of the server.
3. Remove the small access panel.
