Server Battery Replacement

[Slade]

currently I have been having trouble keeping my cmos settings too my old server.  Thing is that I thought that it saved them out too a floppy cause I have too configure it that way.  I tested the cr-2032 an ended up that it didn't have a charge.  Thing is that I have no clue too get a replacement, what I do know is that its a solder tail an that the positive pins are 10 mm apart an that its a three pin connector.  Prosignia 300 Unit

forgot too add if possible too get an holder for it.  Instead of haveing too remove the board each time too change it.

...what exactly don't you understand about replacing a CR-2032? What's a three-pin connector?

[Slade]

quaxo, no cause this is a typical cr-2032.  Meaning that it connects too the motherboard in three places instead of two that is typically, seen know.

You just contradicted yourself. First you say it's a typical CR2032, but a typical one doesn't connect in three places. That system is quite old (it's a Pentium 90Mhz for crying out loud) and there isn't much information about the specifics of the battery online. Perhaps you could enlighten us, be a little more specific and accurate, take some pictures, something...

sorry, I dont have the photos with me.  This is more or less what I am looking for, the yellow one there.  The two positive leds have too be 10 mm other wise it wont fit in the board.  Personally, I rather have a holder so that I can change it out with a standered one if possible

So what's the problem? Those are widely available online. Order one, solder it in.

If you're looking for a holder, try searching for it on Google or something. Quit expecting people to do the work for you, Squall.

Thousands of variations of what? You just said it looked like the yellow one. Perhaps you should take a closer look at the battery and provide more info or post some pictures.

Of solder tail battery an holders.  Sadly, I cant at this time.  Thing is that I went too radio shack an the guy just gave me a part that could work.  When I went too install it, it was slightly larger then the pin layout.

Sounds like a personal issue. You should have that looked at.
