Installing or replacing

a battery

The procedure for replacing an existing cache battery

("Replacing a battery" on page 2) is different from the

procedure for installing a battery into a server that does not

have one ("Installing a battery" on page 1).

Installing a battery

WARNING: There is a risk of explosion, fire,

or personal injury if the battery pack is not

properly handled. Refer to "Battery

replacement notice (on page 2)" before

installing or removing any item that contains

a battery pack.

1. Close all applications, and then power down the server.

2. Plug the battery cable (supplied in the battery pack kit)

into the battery pack.

3. Install the new battery pack into the server. (The

installation site depends on the server. For further

information, refer to the server-specific user guide.)

4. Plug the other end of the battery cable into the connector

on the cache module.

NOTE: Your model might look different from the one illustrated. NOTE: After installing a battery pack, you might see a POST message during reboot indicating that the array accelerator (cache) is temporarily disabled. This is normal, because the new battery pack is likely to have a low charge. You do not need to take any action, because the recharge process begins automatically when the battery pack is installed.
