Battery-backed write cache procedures
Two types of procedures are provided for the cache module option:
Removal and replacement of failed components.
o Removing the cache module (on page 44)
o Removing the battery or capacitor pack (on page 45)
Recovering data from the cache ("Recovering data from the battery-backed write cache" on page 47)
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.
Removing the cache module
CAUTION: After the server blade is powered down, wait 15 seconds and then check the amber
LED before unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED blinks after 15
seconds, do not remove the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up data,
and data is lost if the cable is detached.
To remove the component:
1. Power down the server blade (on page 28).
2. Remove the server blade (on page 29).
3. Remove the access panel (A-side) ("Access panel (A-side)" on page 31).
