Installing a RAID adapter battery remotely in the server
When you install any RAID adapters that come with a batteries in the PCI slot 1
and PCI slot 2, it is sometimes necessary to install the batteries in another location
in the server to prevent the batteries from overheating. The batteries must be
installed only on top of the microprocessor 2 air baffle. To install the RAID adapter
battery in the server, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 167.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and
external devices; then, remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page
174).
3. Install the RAID adapter on the riser card and install the riser-card assembly in
the server (see “Installing a PCI riser-card assembly” on page 235).
4. Route the remote battery cable through the notches on the microprocessor 2 air
baffle.
Attention: Make sure that the cable is not pinched and does not cover any
connectors or obstruct any components on the system board.
5. Install the battery on the microprocessor 2 air baffle:
a. Connect the battery cable to the battery cable connector on the battery
carrier.
b. Place the battery carrier in the battery mounting slot on the microprocessor
2 air baffle and ensure that battery carrier posts align with the rings on the
battery mounting slot so that the battery carrier is secure in the slot.
Note: The positioning of the remote battery depends on the type of remote
battery that you install.
