Operator Panel Battery
Removal
CAUTION:
A lithium battery can cause fire, explosion, or severe burn. Do not recharge,
disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F), solder directly to the cell, incinerate, or
expose cell contents to water. Keep away from children. Replace only with the
part number specified for your system. Use of another battery may present a risk
of fire or explosion.
The battery connector is polarized; do not attempt to reverse polarity.
Dispose of the battery according to local regulations.
1. Power off the system (see “Powering Off and Powering On the System” on
page 492).
2. Disconnect the ac power cords from both the system rack and the I/O rack.
Note: If your system’s I/O rack contains drawers that are shared by another
system, disconnect the ac power cords from the rear of the I/O drawers that
are attached to this system only.
3. Remove the front cover to access the operator panel (see “Covers” on page 494).
4. Pivot the operator panel outward from the system rack by loosening the two
retaining screws. Loosen the three retaining screws on the rear of the operator
panel and slide the retainer cover to the right.
5. Remove the battery from the back of the operator panel.
Replacement
