Replacing the Battery 
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory.  When 
the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of 
three years.  When the computer is plugged in, 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 29 on page 67 shows the location of the 
battery. 
 CAUTION 
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type.  Batteries should be 
recycled where possible.  Disposal of used batteries must be in accordance with local 
environmental regulations.
