To determine if the battery needs replacing, reenter the time and date through the System Setup program. Turn off the system for a few hours, and then turn it on again. Enter the System Setup program. If the date and time are not correct in the System Setup program, replace the battery. NOTES: Some software may cause the system time to speed up or slow down. If the system seems to operate normally except for the time kept in the System Setup program, the problem may be caused by software rather than by a defective battery. If the system is turned off for long periods of time (for weeks or months), the NVRAM may lose its system configuration information. This situation is not caused by a defective battery. The system can be operated without a battery; however, the system configuration information maintained by the battery in NVRAM is erased each time the computer is turned off. Therefore, the system configuration information must be reentered and the options reset each time the system boots until the battery is replaced. The battery is a 3.0-volt (V), coin-cell CR2032-type battery. To remove the battery, follow these steps. 1. Enter the System Setup program and, if possible, make a printed copy of the System Setup screens. See Chapter 4, "Using the System Setup Program," in the User's Guide for instructions. 2. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet. 3. Remove the computer cover. See "Removing the Computer Cover" in Chapter 7. 4. If an expansion card blocks your access to the battery, remove the expansion card. See "Removing an Expansion Card" found earlier in this chapter. Installing System Board Options 8-17
