Before opening the system unit, save and close all open files, exit all open applications, turn off the power to all attached peripheral devices, shut down the computer, and unplug the power cord. You may need to replace the lithium battery if your computer consistently loses the date or time settings after turning it off. The lithium battery has a typical life of three years, after which the battery may be too weak to power the CMOS memory. ! When you remove the lithium battery, all values stored in the CMOS memory (BIOS setup values and Plug and Play values) may be lost. Although the computer can hold the charge for a short time while replacing the battery, it is safer to assume that the settings will be lost. When the values are lost, the BIOS values revert to their factory-default settings (see "Accessing the BIOS Setup Utility" on page 22). Do not handle damaged or leaking batteries. The lithium battery may explode if mistreated. Do not disassemble it or dispose of it in fire. 1 2 Reboot your computer by selecting Shut Down. . . from the Start menu, and then selecting Restart.
