Replacing the battery
The blink pattern of the red STATUS LED indicates which battery needs
replacement.
• One blink:: Replace the standard battery.
• Two blinks:: Replace the optional battery.
• Three blinks:: Replace both the standard and optional batteries.
Before you begin
• Wear a wrist strap connected to the storage system to prevent part
failures caused by static electricity. Do not remove the wrist strap until you

battery to be replaced is blinking.
