You can easily replace the NVRAM battery pack in a server. The battery module is hot-swappable; however, if possible, shutdown the server before replacing the module.

Identify the server model before installing the battery.

The replacement battery module is pre-assembled. Do not remove the batteries from the case.

Important: During the replacement procedure, the NVRAM contents are not backed up by the battery pack. If a power failure occurs during this period, NVRAM contents may be lost. See the appropriate hardware reference or maintenance documentation for procedures to power down a server.
