RTC Battery Replacement Procedure
- Place the Elo Backpack with Intel on a clean, protected work surface.
- Remove the power brick retaining screw, then remove the power brick.
- If surface mount brackets are installed, remove the four mounting screws and detach the brackets.
- Using a Phillips PH1 screwdriver, remove the fifteen (15) screws securing the chassis.
- Carefully separate the top cover from the bottom chassis.
The metal cover may adhere slightly to the enclosure. If necessary, use a plastic pry tool to gently begin separating the cover before lifting it away by hand.
Take care not to damage the RTC battery connector or its wiring. - Disconnect the RTC battery connector from the system board.
- Carefully peel back the black cloth tape securing the RTC battery, then remove the battery from the chassis.
- Install a replacement CR2450W high-temperature coin manganese dioxide lithium battery in the original location.
- Secure the replacement battery using the original black cloth tape.
- Reconnect the RTC battery connector to the system board.
- Reassemble the Backpack by reversing the disassembly steps.
⚠ Important
Replace the RTC battery only with the same battery type or an Elo-approved equivalent: CR2450W high-temperature coin manganese dioxide lithium battery. Using an incorrect battery type may result in improper operation or damage to the system.
