Replacing the Battery Backup

The PXIe-3985 is provided with a 3.0 V “coin cell” lithium battery,
replacement of which is as follows.

1. Turn off the PXI chassis.

2. Remove the PXIe-3985 embedded controller from

the chassis. Observe all anti-static precautions.

3. To remove the battery, gently insert a small (approx. 5

mm) flathead screwdriver under the battery at the nega-
tive retaining clip. Gently pry up and the battery should
easily pop out.

4. Place a fresh identical battery (CR2032 or equivalent) in

the socket, ensuring that the positive pole (+) is facing
upwards. The battery is most easily seated by first being
inserted under the positive retaining clip, and then
pushed downward at the negative retaining clip. The bat-
tery should easily snap into position.

5. Reinstall the embedded controller into the PXI chassis

and restore power.

2. Remove the PXIe-3985 from the chassis. Observe

all anti-static precautions.
