Switching off the Workstation
The switch off procedure of the system depends on its operating system.
With current operating systems, the workstation is switched off automatically once shut
down.
If the operating system does not support this function, the ON/OFF button must be held
for at least four seconds. If you are not going to be using your workstation for an extended
period, you should disconnect the power cable from the device.
The CMOS Battery
When changing the
battery it must not
be allowed to short
circuit or be inserted
with reversed polar-
ity. A battery which is
inserted with reversed
polarity may explode
or cause damage to
the electronics on the
motherboard.
Only use the battery
type recommended by
the manufacturer. You
can purchase new bat-
teries from your dealer.

On the motherboard of the workstation is a special type of
memory which, in contrast to the normal RAM, must not
be erased. This memory is called CMOS RAM. It stores the
internal configuration settings of BIOS, as well as important
parameters for the system clock and calendar. In order to
maintain the contents of the CMOS RAM even when the
workstation is switched off, it is continually supplied with
power from a battery.
Replace the CMOS battery as follows:
1. Slide the safety latch to the side.
2. Lift and pull the battery from the holder.
3. Insert the new battery.
4. Lock the battery in place.
