be careful removing the battery a machine this old may have weak plastic. however the machine will boot without the cmos battery. just not a bad battery.
you will still get the error codes 163 and 161 just hit enter to get past the bios clock and errors and it will boot.

Hi Floyd Johnson
The solution for your problem is :
1: Swith off plug
2. take out cmos jumper (for reseting cmos & bios system)
3. After 1 minutes, installed back the cmos jumper
4. Plug on your power cable
5. You are done..
