Battery replacement

If the server no longer automatically displays the correct date and time, you may
need to replace the battery that provides power to the real-time clock. Under
normal use, battery life is 5 to 10 years.
To remove the component:
1. Power down the server ("Powering down the server" on page 35).
2. Extend or remove the server from the rack ("Extending the server from the
rack" on page 37).
3. Remove the access panel.
4. Remove the PCI riser cage ("Removing the PCI riser cage" on page 40).
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.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server or expansion
boards, power down the server and remove all AC power cords before
removing or installing the PCI riser cage.
