Replacing the battery
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are
properly grounded before beginning this procedure.
The method for replacing a battery depends on whether the battery case is mounted on the inner wall of
the server chassis by a hook-and-loop strip or located in a hard drive slot.
If the battery case is mounted on the inner wall of the server chassis:
1. Back up all data.
2. Close all applications.
3. Power down the server.
4. Remove the server from the enclosure.
5. Remove the server access panel.
6. Remove the battery case from the chassis wall.
7. Remove the battery from the battery case.
8. Install the replacement battery in the battery case.
9. Mount the battery case on the chassis wall.
10. Close the server access panel.
11. Reinstall the server in the enclosure.
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. The
controller will operate properly while the battery pack recharges, although the performance
advantage of the array accelerator will be absent. When the battery pack has been charged
to a satisfactory level, the array accelerator will automatically be enabled.
If the battery case is located in a hard drive slot:
1. Back up all data.
2. Close all applications.
3. Power down the server.
4. Remove the server from the enclosure.
5. Remove the server access panel.
6. Remove the battery case from the hard drive slot.
7. Invert the battery case.
