So my mom gave me an old compaq armada m700

On the boot logo it says (162 -system options not set). so I figure it might be the cmos battery. How do you change it I have just stopped short of completely taking it apart no dice. I have googled it you tubed it.

Either find a disassemble guide to know which screws to remove, or just start taking them off. You'll probably have to remove a significant portion of casing.
