System battery replacement
If the server no longer automatically displays the correct date and time, then replace the battery that
provides power to the real-time clock. Under normal use, battery life is 5 to 10 years.
WARNING: The computer contains an internal lithium manganese dioxide, a vanadium
pentoxide, or an alkaline battery pack. A risk of fire and burns exists if the battery pack is not
properly handled. To reduce the risk of personal injury:
• Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).
• Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water.
• Replace only with the spare designated for this product.
To remove the component:
1. Do one of the following:
o For tower models, open and remove the tower bezel ("Remove the tower bezel" on page 31).
o For rack models, if installed, remove the security bezel ("Remove the security bezel (optional)"
on page 31).
2. Power down the server (on page 30).
3. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
4. Do one of the following:
o For tower models, place the server on a flat, level surface with the access panel facing up.
o For rack models, extend the server from the rack (on page 34).
5. Remove the access panel (on page 32).
6. Remove the fan cage (on page 37).
7. Locate the battery on the system board ("System board components" on page 15).
8. If the system battery is secured by a metal tab, do the following:

release the battery from the socket.
