Replacing the battery

Attention:

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

http://www.lenovo.com/support

This section provides instructions on how to replace the battery.

Your computer has a special type of memory that maintains the date, time, and settings for built-in features, such as parallel-port assignments (configuration). A battery keeps the information active when you turn off the computer.

The battery normally requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life. However, if the battery fails, the date, time, and configuration information (including passwords) are lost. An error message will be displayed when you turn on the computer.

Refer to the “Lithium battery notice” in the ThinkCentre Safety and Warranty Guide for information about replacing and disposing of the battery.

To replace the battery, do the following:

1.Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the computer. Then, disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the computer.

2.Place a soft, clean towel or cloth on the desk or surface. Hold the sides of your computer and gently lay it down so that the screen is against the surface and the cover is facing up.

3.Remove the computer cover. See “Removing the computer cover” on page 15.

4.Locate the battery on the system board. See “System board part and connector locations” on page 12.

5.Remove the battery.
