Disposing of the Battery
Before disposing of the battery, put adhesive tape on the terminals. Depending upon the
NEC Versa VXi model, the main battery is made of Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) or
Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion).
Contact your local waste management officials for information regarding
environmentally sound collection, recycling, and disposal of batteries.
Internal Batteries
The Nickel Metal-Hydride or Lithium-Ion battery is the main power source in your
NEC Versa VXi computer. Appendix B lists battery specifications. In addition to the
main battery, the CMOS battery provides power to maintain system configuration
settings.
CMOS Battery
This battery provides battery backup and prevents data loss in the system’s
complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) RAM. This memory area contains
information on the system’s configuration, for example, date, time, drives, and
memory.
This equipment uses an ungrounded power cable. Replace the
cord if it becomes damaged. U.S. and Canadian replacement cords must be UL-
approved (CSA certified in Canada) type SPT-2, 18 AWG, 2-conductor cord with a
permanently attached NEMA type 5-15P plug at one end, and a permanently attached
connector body on the other. Cord length may not exceed 15 feet.
Outside the U.S. and Canada the cord must be rated for at least 250VAC at 10 amps,
and must indicate international safety agency approval. The plug must be a type
appropriate for the country where it is used. Check with your local dealer for HAR type
18 AWG, 2 conductor cord, or better.
Obtain replacement cords at an authorized service center. The replacement must be of
the same type and voltage rating as the original cord.
Disconnect all supply lines before the hinged front cover is removed. Replace the
hinged cover before the unit is restarted.
