Re: [SM] C500 Pram replacement

[Keith Krehbiel]

If you are going to be removing drives it would be a good timw to 
replace the battery.  You need to get the drive mounting 
bracket/sled/whatever out to access the battery.  That is the hard 
part.  Replacing the battery is a snap from there.  I am not sure if 
a dead battery will cause boot failure.  If your battery dies 
completely and you boot without it you will be prompted to set your 
date and time.  If you need to use your computer before you can 
change batteries, be sure to set your time every time you boot.  The 
consequences of not doing so are well...I don't even want to think 
about it.
The battery installation is straight-forward.  The battery sticks to 
a velcro pad on the motherboard and the connector is polarized so it 
is difficult to plug it in wrong.  (Some would say impossible but I 
have learned there is no such thing, grin)
