Removing and Installing Parts
To replace the battery:
1 Record all the screens in system setup (see "System Setup" on page 166) 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 85.
3 Open the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on page 86).
4 Locate the battery socket (see "System Board Components" on page 89).
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.
5 Remove the battery by prying it out of its socket with your fingers.
6 Insert the new battery (CR2032) into the socket with the side labeled
"+" facing up, and press the battery into place.
7 Replace the computer cover (see "Replacing the Computer Cover" on
page 159).
NOTICE:
To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network port
or device and then plug it into the computer.
8 Connect your computer and devices to electrical outlets, and turn
them on.
9 Enter system setup (see "System Setup" on page 166) and restore the settings you recorded in step 1.
10 Properly dispose of the old battery. See the Product Information Guide for battery disposal information.
