  • Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).
  • Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water.
  • Replace only with the spare designated for this product.

To remove the component:

  1. Power down the server.
  2. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
  3. Remove the server.
  4. Place the server on a flat, level work surface.

    IMPORTANT: Replacing the system board battery resets the system ROM to its default configuration. After replacing the battery, reconfigure the system through UEFI System Utilities.

To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure.
