Re: When booting my dell optiplex GX270 desktop,"alert!...
I think this is the problem about your cmos battery so first you change your cmos battery contained in your lap top.it is attached with your laptop motherboard.

to me it seems like your battery is not charging.use volt meter to check output from your adapter or change battery.
Whatever you do do NOT keep using computer until its sorted as you can ruin your windows installation or hard drive
one step you can check boot device menu by clicking f2
first boot device should be HDD hard drive
if it is also correct then surely the hard drive is faulty and you need to contact dell at 1-800-624-9896
I think this is reffering to your cmos battery, switch off the machine and remove the side cover, have a look around for a flat cell battery, it is usually a cr2032 or similar, these batteries are cheap to buy (maybe £3 or so)the battery in question, if your not familiar with cell batteries, looks something like an oversized watch battery, maybe 20mm in diameter.
That warning is referring to the CMOS battery.
Powe off, unplug the machine. Open the case and look for a small round silver disck about the size of a quarter. Read the number on it and purchase a new one. (Should be something like CR2032)
Replacement is faily easy as the old one just pops out and the new one pops in.
You may get an error about Time and Date
Hit F2 to get into the BIOS and reset the time and date
If it is not keeping time then you need to replace the computers clock battery. The battery is a cr2032 battery usually. follow the below link for instructions on how to do that.
The new series of Intel G1 stepping Pentium 4 processors (Prescott) is not backwards compatible with all the latest BIOS versions for OptiPlex systems.
