简介
Use this guide to replace the CMOS battery.
Before beginning any work on your Mac Pro: Unplug the computer and press and hold the power button for ten seconds to discharge the power supply's capacitors.
Be very careful not to touch the capacitor leads or any exposed solder joints on the back of the power supply. Only handle the board by the edges.

Remove five 5.1 mm T10 Torx screws from around the outer perimeter of the fan assembly.
Fat Mango is correct. That said. If you do pull the fan assembly note that the screws are all held in with blue Permatex and breaking them free takes a fair amount of effort. Getting a good set of Torx screwdrivers is a must.

Hey guys, what would happen if you only replace one card.. I have a D300 but the plan is to upgrade to D500 or D600. So If I can afford and install one instead of the pair would it increase something? or will it cause any conflict? I guess I don’t understand if I the Mac Pro has 2 D300 graphic cards that means each has 1GB? Same as If I would Install 1 D600 that would increase 3GB only? Thanks.
D300 = 2GB each card. Very few apps uses two cards at the same time.

The (5) Screws are Apple part number 923-0713

While supporting the fan assembly with one hand, loosen the two T8 captive screws in the fan cable bracket.
On my machine, a TR7 worked to remove them due to the weird angle.

Use the flat end of a spudger and a twisting motion to gently separate one side of the graphics card data connection.

Remove the two 6.0 mm T8 Torx screws securing the interconnect board to the heat sink.
Ended up being T9 screws for me.
T8 screws for me, i did and edit to this step
Ended up being T15 screws on my machine

Use the flat end of a spudger to disconnect the power supply DC-Out connector from its socket on the IO board.

Use the tip of a spudger to disconnect the power supply data cable from its socket on the IO board.
Need to add T9 Torx Screwdriver to list of tools at the beginning of this article.

Remove the four 9.0 mm silver T10 Torx screws from the sides of the power supply.

Remove the two 9 mm silver T10 Torx screws securing the IO Board to the IO shield.
On reassembly, before tightening these 2 9.0mm T10s, make sure the other 4 holes line up. Otherwise you might be setting yourself up for cross threading the 4 remaining 9.0 mm T10 that are already in a bad spot for torquing.
Might not be a bad idea to put the other 4 halfway in to be sure no resistance, then tighten the 2 in this step, then remove the other 4.

A very good guide. I have a few notes from my experience replacing my battery.
In step 13 the torx screws securing the interconnect board to the heat sink were T-8 on my Mac but T-7 worked.
In step 23 a short arm Torx key would be helpful. Getting them out tore up the heads of the screws and getting back in was difficult without cross threading some of them. Bondhus (model no. 31832) sells a set that might help.
In step 29 if you don't reconnect the power supply data cable completely your Mac fan will run full speed and the processors will max out.
Yeah, could somebody please post the specifications for the replacement battery and maybe a source for it?
From the tear down, it's a Long-life BR-2032... I got mine at: https://www.amazon.com/PANASONIC-BATTERI.... Good luck! Great machine!
Yes, the BR2032.
The difference between it and the CR2032 medical battery is the wider heat tolerance range, both extreme heat and cold of the BR. As these are known to get quite hot, get the BR2032.
The batteries in most Macs are easy to replace so substituting the common CR2032 works fine. Electrically, they are identical. The Mac Pro and the late 2009-2010 iMac are a bit time consuming (2009–10 iMacs have the battery on the back of the motherboard) so use the same one that Apple uses.
The best price on the BR2032 is this 3-pack.

Could anyone explain what issues they are seeing with a dead CMOS battery?
I’ve had a problem booting for a while, having to reset pram and smc every time and try multiple reboots, uugh, I changed CMOS battery thinking it was that and tested the old one which was lo and behold dead. I thought this would fix the issue but it hasn’t. Just FYI I have the same problem with or without a battery in there.
Hi there. The same for me here, how did you solve this problem ?
Changed for new battery although it is not turning on yet.

Thank You for very good detailed guide but I have problem after reassembly, fan running on maximum speed. I have try SMC reset (1)Shut down Mac, 2) Unplug power cord, 3) Wait 15 sec., 4) Plug in power cord, 5) Wait 5 sec., 6)Turn On Mac) and not worked for me, all is without changes. Mac very lagging and is very slow. I disassembled the mac again, checked all the flex cables and dont’t find any problem with this. Please, is any way how can I fix this? I have searching and testing guides 2 days and now I'm absolutely frustrated, nothing worked. :-( Thank You very much.
Thank you for an excellent guide to a tricky enough operation. Phew! Good job that coin cell lasts a few years! As someone else has said, I highly recommend chasing down the BR2032 version that Apple install as OEM, rather than using the more common CR2032. There are good reasons for this - the BR2032 has increased temperature stability and holds voltage better over lifetime. UK folk can get a supply at RS Components here: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/button-ba...
One other comment - in the reverse of Stage 23 when re-assembling, please take care aligning those 4 x 9mm T10 screws bolting down the PSU to the IO board. They came out fairly easily, but picking up the thread again properly when putting them back I found very tricky, mainly due to the overhang, and there is a risk of stripping if they don’t go in vertically.
