Replacing The Battery - Dell XPS 630i Service Manual

Replacing the Battery

CAUTION:
Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the
safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.
A coin-cell battery maintains computer configuration, date, and time
information. The battery can last several years.
If you have to repeatedly reset time and date information after turning on the
computer, replace the battery.
CAUTION:
A new battery can explode if it is incorrectly installed. Replace the
battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
To replace the battery:
1 Record all the screens in system setup (see "System Setup" in the Owner's
Manual) so that you can restore the correct settings after the new battery
has been installed.
2 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 9.
3 Open the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on
page 13).
4 Locate the battery socket (see "System Board Components" on page 16).
NOTICE:
If you pry the battery out of its socket with a blunt object, be careful not to
touch the system board with the object. Ensure that the object is inserted between
the battery and the socket before you attempt to pry out the battery. Otherwise, you
may damage the system board by prying off the socket or by breaking circuit traces
on the system board.
