Using a small flat-bladed screwdriver, carefully remove the battery from
its socket on the system board.
8 Press 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.
9 Close the case (see “Closing the case” on page 19.)
10 Reconnect peripherals, the modem cord, and the power cord, and turn
on the system.
11 Enter the BIOS Setup utility program and verify that the system
configuration is correct using the data you recorded in Step 2.
If the CMOS data is not correct, change the information in the BIOS Setup
utility screens as necessary.
