Replacing the battery

Attention
Do not open your computer or attempt any repair before reading and understanding the "Important safety information"
in the ThinkStation Safety and Warranty Guide that came with your computer. To obtain a copy of the ThinkStation
Safety and Warranty Guide, go to:

Your computer has a special type of memory that maintains the date, time, and settings for built-in features,
such as serial-port assignments (configuration). A battery keeps this information active when you turn
off the computer.
The battery normally requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life; however, no battery lasts
forever. If the battery fails, the date, time, and configuration information (including passwords) are lost. An
error message is displayed when you turn on the computer.
Refer to the "Lithium battery notice" in the ThinkStation Safety and Warranty Guide for information about
replacing and disposing of the battery.
To replace the battery:
1. Turn off the computer and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet and from the computer.
