HP Smart Array P700m Controller for Integrity Servers Installation Guide, Second Edition

5. 7. If the P700m controller is installed in mezzanine slot 3, let the cable lie across the top of
the card in slot 2 (if installed) or slot 1 (if installed and no card in slot 2).
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the other cards and lay the cable under mezzanine card 1 as
this will cause wear on the battery cable's wires, exposed near the cache module plug. In
addition, you should route the battery cable so that the cache and battery can be removed
together. (If you need to remove the cache to transfer data, the battery must remain connected
to it so that the data is preserved.)
NOTE: After installing a cache battery, you might see a POST message during reboot indicating
the array accelerator (cache module) is temporarily disabled. This is normal, because the new
cache battery will probably have a low charge. You do not need to take any action, because the
recharge process begins automatically when the server blade is installed in the enclosure. The
P700m controller will operate properly while the cache battery recharges, although the
performance advantage of the array accelerator will be absent. Once the cache battery charges
up to a satisfactory level, the array accelerator is automatically enabled.
