SPS battery
The SPS battery is a Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. The SPS battery has a handle on the front
allowing for ease of insertion and removal (Figure 4 on page 15). When installing the
Li-ion battery, you must engage it before you power on the system. Depending on how
your storage system was shipped to your site, the installation requirements for the SPS
battery will be different.
Note: The SPS battery weighs approximately 28 lb (12.07 kg).
◆ If your storage system is shipped in an EMC rack by truck, the factory inserts the
battery into the SPS enclosure in the SPS tray, but does not engage it. The SPS battery
is in the parked position (wheel latch indicator yellow) inside the SPS enclosure. You
must lift the wheel latch up and push the SPS battery further into the slot of the SPS
enclosure to ensure that it is in the engaged position (wheel latch indicator green).
◆ If your storage system is shipped in an EMC rack by air, the factory ships the SPS
battery separately. The battery is not installed in the cabinet or rack, and the wheel
latch indicator on the SPS enclosure is red. You must unpack the SPS battery from the
separate shipping container, install it in the SPS enclosure, and then ensure that the
SPS enclosure is engaged (wheel latch indicator green).
