WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

If the system is still up and functioning, customer should perform an orderly and graceful shutdown of applications and OS.  Then power off the server and remove the AC power cords from the system.

A data backup is not a prerequisite but is a wise precaution.

1. Prepare the server for service.

1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cords from the power supplies.
2. Extend the server to the maintenance position in the rack.
3. Attach an anti-static wrist strap.
4. Remove the top cover.

2. Locate and Remove the Battery.

1. The system battery is a 3V Lithium Coin Cell Battery (CR2032 or BR2032) which is located vertically on the system board directly behind PCIe slot 6
2. To dislodge the battery from its retainer, gently push the top edge of the battery away from the retainer.
3. Lift the battery up and out of its retainer.

3. Install the Replacement Battery.

1. Unpackage the replacement battery.
2. Press the new battery into the battery retainer with the positive side (+) facing the server chassis side wall.

4. Return the Server to operation

1. Replace the top cover
2. Remove any anti-static measures that were used.
3. Return the server to it's normal operating position within the rack.
4. Re-install the AC power cords and any data cables that were removed.
5. Power on server.

5. Adjust system clocks if needed

1. If the ILOM is not configured to use ntp adjust the time by logging into the ILOM cli and setting the clock using the following command format
   -> set /SP/clock datetime=MMDDhhmmYYYY
2. When powering on the host for the first time adjust the system date/time by pressing F2 to go into the BIOS setup. The date and time can be adjusted in the "Main" menu section. After setting the time correctly navigate to the "Save&Exit" section and select the "Save Changes and Reset" option.
