4.Install the new battery.

5.Reconnect any cables that were disconnected. Slide the drive tray back into the computer, making sure both side tabs lock.

6.Install the PCI riser and adapters if removed.

7.Replace the cover, and connect the cables. See “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables”.

Note: When the computer is turned on for the first time after battery replacement, an error message might be displayed. This is normal after replacing the battery.

8.Turn on the computer and all attached devices.

9.Use the IBM Setup Utility program to set the date and time and any passwords.

Erasing a lost or forgotten password (clearing CMOS)

This section applies to lost or forgotten passwords. For more information about lost or forgotten passwords, go to Access IBM.

To erase a forgotten password:

1.Refer to “Accessing system board components and drives” on page 22.

2.Locate the Clear CMOS/BIOS recovery jumper on the system board. See “Identifying parts on the system board” on page 23.

3.Move the jumper from the standard position (pins 1 and 2, closest to the battery) to the maintenance or configure position (pins 2 and 3, farthest from the battery).

4.Slide both drive trays back into the computer and secure with the holding screws. Reconnect any cables that were disconnected.

5.Install the PCI riser and adapters.

6.Replace the cover, and connect the power cable. See “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables”.

7.Restart the computer, leave it on for approximately 10 seconds, and then turn off the computer.

8.Repeat step 1.

9.Move the jumper back to the standard (pins 1 and 2).

10.Reassemble the computer and replace the cover. See “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables”.

Replacing the cover and connecting the cables

After working with options, reinstall any removed parts, replace the cover, and reconnect cables, including telephone lines and power cords. Also, depending on the option that is installed, you might need to confirm the updated information in the IBM Setup Utility program.
