✍

The configuration should never need changing unless otherwise directed by a technical support or service technician.

!

Before opening the system, save any open files, exit Windows, turn off the power of the computer and all attached peripherals, and unplug the power cord.

There are two configuration switches on the system board:

❑ CMOS Clear switch

❑ Onboard VGA Interrupt (AGP_INT) switch

When the CMOS Clear switch is in the Normal position, it provides normal access to the BIOS Setup Utility.

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) input clock is forced to remain at 100

MHz (fast mode), and the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) uses the

User CMOS settings (as opposed to the System CMOS settings).

The CMOS and NVRAM settings are only cleared if the checksum test returns false. Access to specific setup fields is controlled by a supervisor password or user password.

When the CMOS Clear switch is in the Clear position, the password that is stored in CMOS is cleared. No other parameters are cleared.

Replacing the Lithium Battery

You may need to replace the lithium battery if your computer consistently loses the date or time settings after turning it off. The lithium battery has a typical life of three years, after which the battery may be too weak to power the CMOS memory.

!

Sony recommends that you use an authorized service dealer to replace the lithium battery. However, if you wish to replace the battery yourself, read the following cautions, notes, and procedure.

!

When you remove the lithium battery, all values stored in the CMOS memory

(BIOS setup values and Plug and Play values) may be lost. Although the computer can hold the charge for a short time while replacing the battery, it is safer to assume that the settings will be lost. When the values are lost, the

BIOS values revert to their factory-default settings (see

“Accessing the

CMOS Setup Utility” on page 14).

Do not handle damaged or leaking batteries.

The lithium battery may explode if mistreated. Do not disassemble it or dispose of it in fire.

1

Reboot your computer by selecting Shut Down... from the Start menu, and then selecting Restart the computer.

2

If the error message “Error: Check date and time settings” appears during the reboot sequence, press F3, then press F2 during the reboot process to access the BIOS Setup Utility. Otherwise it is not necessary to replace the battery at this time, and you can skip all remaining steps.

3

Compare all the BIOS options to their default settings (see “CMOS

Setup Options” on page 63). Make a list of all the BIOS options that

are different from their default values. You will refer to this list when you restore the BIOS settings later.

4

Press ESC, then select Exit from the main menu using the right arrow key. The Exit Discarding Changes is automatically selected (it is the first item in the list).

5

Press Enter, type N when prompted to save, then press Enter to exit the BIOS Setup Utility.

6

Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.

7


“Removing the System Cover” on page 22 ).


8

Remove the power supply (see

“Removing the Power Supply” on page 31).

9

Use a screwdriver or similar tool to push the battery-eject lever against the battery holder (see 1 diagram). One side of the battery pops up.

2

1

KY0072.VSD

10

Remove the battery (see 2 in diagram) and dispose according to the instructions that came with the new battery.

11

Insert the new battery into the battery holder, with the plus (+) side up, and press down until the battery snaps into position.

✍

The Sony CR2032 battery is recommended. Using a type of battery other than a

CR2032 may present a risk of fire or explosion.

12

Replace the power supply (see

“Replacing the Power Supply” on page 32).

13




14

Reconnect the power cord and turn on the computer.

15

If the error message “Error: Check date and time settings.” appears during the reboot sequence, press DEL to access the CMOS Setup

Utility. If no error message displays, the computer’s CMOS settings were retained during the battery replacement and you can skip the remaining steps.

16

Refer to the list you made in step 3 and restore any non-default

CMOS settings (see “CMOS Setup Options” on page 63).

17

Press F10, then follow the onscreen prompt to save and exit.

The computer’s CMOS settings are now restored.

About User and Supervisor Passwords

The system allows you to specify up to two passwords (a User password and a Supervisor password) in the BIOS Setup Utility. The User password is required; the Supervisor password is optional.

Access to the BIOS Setup Utility depends on which passwords were previously set, as indicated next.

If you set these passwords...

User password only

Supervisor password only

Both passwords

...the following passwords are required:

User password is required at bootup.

No password is required at bootup.

Supervisor password is required by most setup options.

User password is required at bootup.

Supervisor password is required by most setup options.

Miscellaneous Technical Information 79

Beep Code Error Messages

During a normal bootup, a single short beep signifies that the system is

OK. Other beep patterns signify errors. The number of beeps indicates the specific error that occurred.

The Sony Online Support technical representative will need to know how many beeps your system produces if there is an error, so be sure to count the number of beeps before calling for support.


PCI Configuration Status and Error Messages

The following is a list of status and error messages that may appear on your system from time to time.
