Removal and replacement procedures 27
•
Recovery of cached data from a failed server ("Recovering data from the battery-backed write
cache" on page 29)
CAUTION: Do not detach the cable that connects the battery pack to the cache module. Detaching the
cable causes any unsaved data in the cache module to be lost.
Smart Array 6i cache module
To remove the component:
1. Power down the server (on page 20).
2. Extend or remove the server from the rack ("Extend the server from the rack" on page 19, "Remove
the server from the rack" on page 20).
3. Remove the access panel ("Access panel" on page 22).
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server or expansion boards, power down the server and remove all
AC power cords before removing or installing the PCI riser cage.
4. Remove the PCI riser cage.
CAUTION: To prevent a server 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.
CAUTION: After the server 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.
5. Remove the cable from the plastic retainer.
6. Remove the Smart Array 6i cache module.
