System battery replacement 166
9.
If the system battery is secured by a plastic outer clip, do the following:
a. Use a small flat-bladed, nonconductive tool to carefully lift the front of the battery from the socket.
b. Remove the battery.
IMPORTANT: Replacing the system board battery resets the system ROM to its default
configuration. After replacing the battery, use BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) in the UEFI
System Utilities (on page 154) to reconfigure the system.
To install the component:
1. If the battery socket design uses a metal tab to secure the battery, insert the battery with the "+" side
facing up on the socket, and then press the battery down to secure it in place.
2. If the battery socket design has a plastic outer lip to secure the battery, insert the battery with the "+"
side facing up underneath the outer lip of the socket, and then press the battery down to secure it in
place.
