Checking the Backup Battery
1. Power off the computer and unplug the AC Adapter
from the computer.
2. Turn the computer upside down.
3. Remove the DIMM cover and backup battery (see
“1010 Backup Battery” on page 157).
4. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the
following figure.
Note: Be careful not to measure the wrong side of
the backup battery.
If the voltage is correct, replace the system board.
If the voltage is not correct, the backup battery has
been discharged. Replace the backup battery.
If the backup battery discharges quickly after
replacement, replace the system board.

2. Remove the failing devices from the replicator.
3. Unplug the AC adapter from the replicator, if
attached.
