Replacing the battery
Attention
Do not open your computer or attempt any repair before reading and understanding the “Important safety information”
in the ThinkCentre Safety and Warranty Guide that came with your computer. To obtain a copy of the ThinkCentre

This section provides instructions on how to replace 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 (conguration). 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 conguration information (including passwords) are lost. An
error message is displayed when you turn on the computer.
