Replacing the Backup Battery A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the server is
not AC powered-on, the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the server is powered-
on, the standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate
to ± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied.
When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored in CMOS
RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the battery with an
equivalent one. Figure 15 shows the location of the battery.
