Installing a RAID adapter remote battery in the server
When you install any RAID adapter that comes with batteries, it is sometimes
necessary to install the batteries in another location in the server to prevent the
batteries from overheating.
To install a RAID adapter remote battery in the server, complete the following
steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins in Safety and “Installation guidelines”
on page 36.
2. Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 24) and all attached
peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external
cables from the server.
3. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the cover facing
up.
Attention: Do not allow the server to fall over.
4. Unlock and remove the left-side cover (see “Removing the left-side cover” on
page 39)
5. See the documentation that comes with the adapter for any cabling instructions
and information about jumper or switch settings. (It might be easier for you to
route cables before you install the adapter.)
6. Install the ServeRAID adapter on the system board (see “Installing an adapter”
on page 79)
7. Connect one end of the battery cable to the RAID adapter battery connector.
8. Route the remote battery cable as shown in the following illustration.
