5Locate the battery on the system board (see “System board layout” on page 98). The battery is circular and has the positive pole mark (+) on the top.

6Place the edge of a small flat-head screwdriver under the battery and lift it up until it pops out of the socket.

7Press the new battery in the socket with the positive pole up. Make sure you have pressed the battery down far enough for it to contact the base of the socket (it should snap into place).

8Close the case by following the procedure “To close the Gateway Mid-Tower case:” on page 19.

9Open the BIOS Setup utility, then select Load Custom BIOS Settings from the Exit menu.
