FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the server for service.

Caution - Loss of data. Removing the battery causes the server to revert to the factory default BIOS settings.  Record BIOS settings prior to battery replacement.
Refer to Service Manual for steps to review BIOS settings.
  1. Power off the server.
  2. Disconnect the AC power cords from the rear of the server.
  3. Power off all of the peripherals connected to the server.
  4. Label and disconnect all cables attached to the rear of the server.
  5. Remove the server from the rack.
  6. Note - For some procedures it is not necessary to remove the server from the rack. To determine whether to remove the server, review the procedure before proceeding.
  7. Place the server in a location with ample space and light.
  8. Remove the server cover.
  9. Use a vacuum, compressed air, or an antistatic brush to clean the interior of the server so component surfaces and server air vents are free of dust.
Caution - Potential for component damage. Do not use liquid or aerosol spray cleaners to clean the server. Liquid has the potential for causing shorts in electrical systems.

10. Remove the air duct.
11. Remove the system battery by pulling and quickly releasing the battery retaining clip.   This action causes the battery to pop out of its socket.
Note - Use a tool to gently pry the battery from the socket while pulling the retaining clip.

Returning system to customer use after battery has been replaced:
12.  Ensure that all new components are installed as described in the component replacement instructions.

15.  Inspect the interior of the server and remove any tools and loose or foreign debris.
16. Replace the air duct
17. Install the system's cover.
18.  Install the server in the rack.
19.  Connect all external cables to the system.
20. To apply AC power, connect the AC power cords to the server.
When the AC power is applied, the server enters standby mode.
21.  Power on the server.
Press and release the recessed power button on the server front panel.
Note - If necessary, use a stylus or other nonconducting pointed object to depress the power on button.
22. Review BIOS settings.  If needed, restore BIOS settings to those that were present just prior to battery replacement.  Refer to Service Manual for steps to review and change BIOS settings.
23.  Server performs power-on self tests (POST) and boots to the OS.
