Replacing The Battery - Lenovo ThinkStation S30 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Replacing the battery

Attention:
Do not open your computer or attempt any repair before reading and understanding the "Important Safety
Information" on page 1.
Your computer has a special type of memory that maintains the date, time, and settings for built-in features,
such as parallel-port assignments (configuration). A battery keeps this information active when you turn
off the computer.
The battery normally requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life; however, no battery lasts
forever. If the battery fails, the date, time, and configuration information (including passwords) are lost. An
error message is displayed when you turn on the computer.
Refer to the "Lithium battery notice" in the ThinkStation Safety and Warranty Guide for information about
replacing and disposing of the battery.
To replace the battery, do the following:
1. Turn off the computer and disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets.
2. Remove the computer cover. See "Removing the computer cover" on page 82.
3. Locate the battery. See "Locating parts on the system board" on page 78.
4. Remove the old battery.

page 117.
Note: When the computer is turned on for the first time after replacing the battery, an error message
might be displayed. This is normal after replacing the battery.
7. Turn on the computer and all attached devices.
8. Use the Setup Utility program to set the date, time, and any passwords. See Chapter 6 "Using the Setup
Utility program" on page 55.
