System component description
EMC VNX8000 Hardware Information Guide 15
◆ If your storage system is shipped in a shipping rack (the storage system components
will be removed and put into a customer rack), 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). 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).
