CAUTION: To prevent damage to the cache module during installation, be sure the cache module is fully inserted before pressing down.
4. Disconnect the BBWC cable from the cache module. 5. Remove the battery pack. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. Recovering data from the battery-backed write cache If the workstation blade fails, use the following procedure to recover data temporarily stored in the BBWC. CAUTION: Before starting this procedure, read the information about protecting against electrostatic discharge ("Preventing electrostatic discharge" on page 25). 1.
o 2. Find a workstation blade that has enough empty drive bays to accommodate all the drives from the failed workstation blade and that meets all the other requirements for drive and array migration. Power down the failed workstation blade. If any data is stored in the cache module, a green LED on the module flashes every 2 seconds. CAUTION: Do not detach the cable that connects the battery pack to the cache module. Detaching the cable causes any unsaved data in the cache module to be lost. 3.
