CMOS replacement
Hello,
I need to get a new CMOS (part #75481) for my Dell PowerEdge 400SC. I contacted a Dell customer representative but was told this part is out of stock. Any advice on where to purchase a reliable CMOS?
Thanks!

Hi rachelnyspi,
You can try purchasing the 3V 190MAH Lithium CMOS battery from this link: http://amzn.to/SZpQyp
Or you can purchase it at a nearby local electronics store at a cost effective price.
Please reply for any further help.
DELL-Nikhil De The battery in your LINK WILL NOT WORK. The BATTERY DOES NOT HAVE PINS!!!!
A standard DL2030 or CR2032 battery will work.
