If the server no longer automatically displays the correct date and time, then replace the battery that provides power to the real-time clock. Under normal use, battery life is 5 to 10 years.

WARNING: The computer contains an internal lithium manganese dioxide, a vanadium 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 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.
5. Disconnect all cables connected to existing expansion boards.
