Replacing a RAID adapter remote battery in the server
When you replace 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 replace 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. Remove the air baffle (see “Removing the air baffle” on page 41).
6. Remove the fan assembly (see “Removing the fan assembly” on page 42).
7. Remove the existing RAID adaptor remote battery (see “Removing a RAID
adapter remote battery in the server” on page 367).
8. 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.)
9. Touch the static-protective package that contains the RAID adaptor remote
battery; then, remove the RAID adaptor remote battery from the package.
10. Install the ServeRAID adapter on the system board (see “Installing an
adapter” on page 79)
11. Connect one end of the battery cable to the RAID adapter battery connector.
12. Route the remote battery cable as shown in the following illustration.
