BBWC module and battery pack option

CAUTION:

To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or remove

the battery pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe size migration

is in progress.

CAUTION:

After the server 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.

IMPORTANT:

The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST

error message is displayed when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is
temporarily disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry automatically
recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack. 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.

NOTE:

The data protection and the time limit also apply if a power outage occurs. When power

is restored to the system, an initialization process writes the preserved data to the hard drives.

To install the component:

1.

Power down the server (on page

17

).

2.

Remove the server from the rack (on page

17

).

3.

Remove the access panel (on page

4.

Remove the PCIe riser cage (on page
