If possible, make a copy of this information before you remove the reserve battery.

2. Disconnect the reserve battery cable from connector JBAT1 on the system board.
3. Remove the reserve battery from the bottom case bracket.
   1. Tear the reserve battery free from the foam pad.
   2. Remove the remnants of the foam pad from the system board assembly.
