Removing the system battery
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.

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 batteries in fire
or water.
• Replace the battery only with the spare designated for this product.
To remove the battery:
1.
Power down the server ( “Power down the server” (page 31) ).
2. Extend or remove the server from the rack ( “Extending the server from the rack” (page 31) ).
