Removal and replacement procedures 59

System battery

The server uses a nonvolatile memory that requires a battery to retain system information when power
is removed. This 3-volt 230-mAh lithium coin cell battery is located on the system board.

If the server no longer automatically displays the correct date and time, the system battery that

provides power to the real-time clock may need to be replaced. Under normal use, battery life is 5 to

10 years.

System battery replacement warnings

Replace the battery with the same type as the battery recommended by HP. Use of another

battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.

A risk of fire and chemical burn exists if the battery is not handled properly. Do not disassemble,

crush, puncture, or short external contacts, or expose the battery to temperatures higher than

60°C (140°F).

Do not dispose of used battery in water or fire. Dispose of used batteries according to

manufacturer's instructions.

Loss of BIOS settings occurs when the battery is removed. BIOS settings must be reconfigured
