OK, finally got a new motherboard for my P-100 project (first one didn't work out so hot). It's a Supermicro P55CM -- 430FX chipset, 512 onboard pipeline burst cache, and here's the rub -- soldered-on 3.6V 60mAh CMOS battery, dead as a doornail. There is, however, a 4-pin battery header on the board.
Anybody have any idea as to what kind of battery would connect to that header? Short of that, any advice on soldering on motherboards would be helpful, as I'm considering just replacing the soldered-on battery.
Finally, if anyone can tell me where to get a manual for this board, that would be great as there's about 20 jumpers on here that I have no CLUE what they do....
Thanks!!!
