Cmos Battery Location On Presario R3000

I have problems booting off of the HD but am able to do so from a CD ROM. I suspect either the bios or the CMOS RTC battery. I need to reset the bios and see whether a reset will fix the problem. I suspect that the battery might also have given out as the laptop is 10 years old. I would like to know where the battery is located. Please help.
