General battery information for IBM PC Servers and Netfinity servers.
IBM has designed this product with your safety in mind. The lithium battery must be handled correctly to avoid possible danger.
WARNING: When replacing the battery, use only IBM part number 33F8354 or an equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer. If your system has a module containing a lithium battery, replace it only with the same module type made by the same manufacturer. The battery contains lithium and can explode if not properly used, handled, or disposed of.
Do not:
- Throw or immerse into water
- Heat to more than 100 degrees C (212 degrees F)
- Repair or disassemble
- Dispose of the battery except as required by local ordinances or regulations.
NOTE: In the US, please call 1-800-IBM-4333 for information about battery disposal.
If you replace the original lithium battery with a heavy-metal battery or a battery with heavy-metal components, be aware of the following environmental consideration: Batteries and accumulators that contain heavy metals must NOT be disposed of with normal domestic waste. They will be taken back free of charge by the manufacturer, distributor, or representative, to be recycled or disposed of in a proper manner.
Before you begin, be sure you have performed the following steps:
- Read "Safety Information" in the Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM) for your server
- Followed any special handling and installation instructions supplied with the replacement battery
- Removed the server side cover (see "Option Installation" in the HMM for your server)
NOTE: After you replace the battery, you must reconfigure your system and reset the system date and time.
Replacing the battery
- Unplug the server.
- Locate the battery on the system board (see "System Board Illustration" in the HMM).
- Remove the battery:
a. Use one finger to lift the battery clip over the battery.
b. Use one finger to slightly slide the battery toward the front of the server. The spring mechanism behind the battery will push it out toward you as you slide it forward.
c. Use your thumb and index finger to pull the battery from under the battery clip.
d. Ensure that the battery clip is touching the base of the battery socket by pressing gently on the clip.
- Insert the new battery:
- Tilt the battery so that you can insert it into the front of the socket, under the battery clip.
- As you slide it under the battery clip, press the battery down into the socket.
-
- Reinstall the server covers and complete the installation (refer to "Completing the Installation" in the HMM).
- Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and reset configuration parameters as needed.
- To reset the system date and time, refer to "Date and Time" in the HMM.
- To reset the power-on password, refer to "Using the Power-on Password Menu" in the HMM.
- To reconfigure your system, follow the instructions given in "Configuration/Setup Utility (all models)" in the HMM.
