Replacing the battery

When replacing the battery, you must replace it with a lithium battery of the same
type from the same manufacturer. To avoid possible danger, read and follow the
information in "Safety information" on page 129.
To order replacement batteries, call 1-800-426-7378 within the United States, and
1-800-465-7999 or 1-800-465-6666 within Canada. Outside the U.S. and Canada,
call your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative.

Statement 2:
CAUTION:
When replacing the lithium battery, use only IBM Part Number 33F8354 or an
equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer. If your system has
a module containing a lithium battery, replace it only with the same module
type made by the same manufacturer. The battery contains lithium and can
explode if not properly used, handled, or disposed of.
Do not:
v Throw or immerse into water
v Heat to more than 100°C (212°F)
v Repair or disassemble
Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.
FRU/actions
v Make sure that you are using Category 5 or higher cabling when operating the computer
at 100 Mbps or at 1000 Mbps.
v Make sure that the cables do not run close to noise-inducing sources such as
fluorescent lights.
v Make sure that the cable is connected to the Ethernet controller.
v Make sure that the PCI system BIOS code is current.
v Reseat the adapter.
v Determine whether the interrupt (IRQ) setting assigned to the Ethernet adapter is also
assigned to another device in the computer. Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program
to determine if this is the case.
Although interrupt sharing is allowed for PCI devices, some devices do not function well
when they share an interrupt with a dissimilar PCI device. Try changing the IRQ
assigned to the Ethernet adapter or the other device.
v Reseat or replace the adapter.
v Try a different connector on the hub.
v Reinstall the device drivers. See the operating-system documentation.
v Reseat or replace the adapter.
