Removal and replacement procedures 44
CAUTION: Do not detach the cable that connects the battery pack or capacitor pack to the cache
module. Detaching the cable causes all data in the cache module to be lost.
Removing the cache module
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby
button does not com
pletely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal
circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
To remove the component:
CAUTION: The cache module connector does not use the industry-standard DDR3 mini-
DIMMs.
Do not use the controller with cache modules designed for other controller models, because the
controller can malfunction and you can lose data. Also, do not transfer this cac
unsupported controller model, because you can lose data.
1. Back up all data.
2. Close all applications.
3. Power down the server (on page 25).
4. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be
powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system
does not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.
5. Extend the server from the rack (on page 25).
6. Remove the access panel (on page 29).
7. Extend the processor memory drawer approximately 2.54-5.1 cm (1-2 inches).
8. Remove the SPI board (on page 31).
