EonStor A12U/A08U-G2421 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
• Install or replace the BBU module only with a BBU module supplied by
your subsystem vendor. Use of battery cells provided by another source will
void our warranty.
• Always dispose of discharged or used batteries in an ecologically
responsible manner. Dispose used BBUs at authorized battery disposal sites
only.
• Do not use nor leave the BBU near a heat source or direct sunlight. Heat can
melt the insulation and damage other safety features of battery cells,
possibly leading it to acid leak and result in flames or explosion.
• Do not immerse the BBU in water nor allow it to get wet. Its protective
features can be damaged. Abnormal chemical reactions may occur, possibly
causing functional defects, acid leak, and other hazardous results.
• Do not disassemble or modify the BBU. If disassembled, the BBU could
leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite.
•
Do not pierce the BBU with a sharp object, strike it with a hammer, step on
it, or throw it. These actions could damage or deform it, internal short-
circuiting can occur, possibly causing functional defects, acid leaks, and
other hazardous results.
•
If the BBU leaks, gives off a bad odor, generates heat, becomes discolored
or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or
storage, immediately remove it from the subsystem and stop using it. If this
is discovered when you first use the BBU, return it to Infortrend or your
system vendor.
