BBWC battery module removal
  1. Review the safety considerations before performing the steps listed below by clicking on the following link:
    CAUTION: Failure to comply with the precautions could result in damage to your product or loss of data.
  2. CAUTION:
    • To prevent a server blade 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.
    • After the server blade 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.
  3. Disconnect the cable.
  4. Slide the pack up and out of the DIMM baffle.
BBWC battery module replacement
  1. NOTE: The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST error message is displayed when the server blade 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.
    Slide the pack and insert it into the DIMM baffle.
  2. Connect the cable.
