Replace a Pilot Battery

The lithium coin-cell battery in the Pilot maintains system time when the Pilot is powered off and a time server is unavailable. The battery also powers the CMOS BIOS system settings of the Oracle FS System. Replace the battery if the Pilot fails to maintain proper time or the battery gets discharged due to age.

Prerequisites:

Before handling a component, touch a grounded surface to discharge any static electricity.
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to your wrist, and stand on an ESD mat while replacing components.
Ensure you have a screwdriver or any kind of sharp pointed object.

Each Pilot has a battery located on the Pilot motherboard. Batteries are customer replaceable units (CRUs) and are not hot-serviceable. Replacing the battery requires you to power off the Pilot. The following figure identifies the location of the battery inside the Pilot motherboard.
