HP ExDS9100c/X9720 Network Storage System Controller Battery Customer Self Repair Instructions (448024-005, October 2011)

Verifying component status
Verify that the battery is working properly:
• Check the controller and battery LEDs. See
Table 1 (page 2).
• Open your management software utility and view
the status of each controller and its batteries.
See the storage system administration guide for
additional information.
IMPORTANT: If the battery has a low charge
when installed, the system temporarily disables
the battery while automatically recharging the
battery. When the battery charge is full, the
system automatically enables the battery for use.
This process might take up to four hours. During
this time, the cache module functions properly,
but without the performance advantage of the
battery pack. No user action is required.
Disposing of an old battery
WARNING! The controller uses Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) batteries. There is risk of
explosion, fire, and personal injury if the battery
pack is incorrectly replaced or mistreated. To
reduce the risk of personal injury:
• Do not attempt to recharge the battery.
• Do not expose to temperatures higher than
60
o
C
• Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short
external contacts, or dispose of in fire or
water.
• Replace only with HP spare designated for
this product.
