Padlock

Your computer is equipped with a padlock loop such that the cover cannot be removed when a padlock is installed.

Make sure that the padlock you install does not interfere with computer cables.

vTo complete the installation, go to “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables” on page 24.

Changing 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 this information active when you turn off the computer.

The battery normally requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life; however, no battery lasts forever. If the battery fails, the date, time, and configuration information (including passwords) are lost. An error message is displayed when you turn on the computer.
