Capacitor block must be discharged
The original SIEMENS replacement part is supplied with a discharged capacitor block.
When you remove or install a charged capacitor block, the Hardware RAID adapter card
may be damaged. Data loss may result.
Remove or install a capacitor block only in completely discharged condition.
Discharge an installed capacitor block as follows:
1. Shut down the operating system properly.
2. Fully disconnect the device from the line voltage, see "Switching off the device
(Page 58)".
3. Wait at least 10 minutes.
If the capacitor is not discharged, a yellow LED close to the connector lights up.
4. Only remove the connector when the yellow LED is extinguished.
Procedure
1. Open the device, see important information on this in "Open the device (Page 85)".
2. Follow the instructions in "Installing/removing expansion cards (Page 90)".
When doing so, please pay attention to the following:
– You can find information on the hardware RAID adapter card under "Expansion card
slots on the bus board (Page 173)".
– Do not leave the slot in front of the hardware RAID adapter card empty.
3. Connect the numbered connections of the adapter cable
④ to the corresponding
available drives.
The number of the connections here correspond to the number of the drive slots, see
"Drive cage type A (Page 17)".
Loosen the screw connection of the power supply unit, if necessary, and ensure that the
connector lock engages.
4. Route the connection of the adapter cable
⑤ to the front of the device and from there to
the hardware RAID adapter card.
5. Fasten the capacitor block
② as displayed with the cable tie, see "Internal construction of
the device (Page 28)".
