PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
Faulty System Board Battery

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :
A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
Customer should shut the operating system down gracefully (using "init 0"), and after the system has shut down Switch from the system console to the -> prompt by typing the #. (Hash Period) key sequence. At the -> prompt, type the stop /SYS command.

2. Remove the Top Cover (perform following for SPARC Enterprise)
  -Unlatch the fan module door by pulling the release tabs back to release the door
  -Press the top cover release button and slide the top cover to the rear about a 0.5 inch
  -Lift up and remove the cover

Removal:

2. Using a No. 1 flat-blade screwdriver, press the latch and remove the battery from the motherboard.

Installation:

1. Unpack the replacement battery.
2. Press the new battery into the battery holder on the motherboard. Install with the positive side facing upward, away from the motherboard.
3. Install PCIe/XAUI riser 2 (& PCI Mezzanine on the Netra).
4. Install the top cover.

6. Connect any data cables required to the PCIe/XAUI card.  Route data cables through the cable management arm.
