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 for 30 seconds, and then check the amber LED
before unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED flashes after 30 seconds,
do not remove the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up data. Data will
be lost if the cable is detached when the amber LED is still flashing.
