HP DL380z Gen8 Virtual Workstation - Manual (Page 55)

IMPORTANT: The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST error
message is displayed when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is temporarily
disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry automatically recharges the
batteries and enables the battery pack. This process might take up to four hours. During this time, the
cache module functions properly, but without the performance advantage of the battery pack.
NOTE: The data protection and the time limit also apply if a power outage occurs. When power is
restored to the system, an initialization process writes the preserved data to the hard drives.
Installing the flash-backed write cache module
CAUTION: The cache module connector does not use the industry-standard DDR3 mini-DIMMs. Do
not use the controller with cache modules designed for other controller models, because the
controller can malfunction and you can lose data. Also, do not transfer this cache module to an
unsupported controller model, because you can lose data.
1. Back up all data.
2. Close all applications.
CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to
be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the
system does not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.
