CAUTION: After the server is powered down, wait 15 seconds and then check the
illumination pattern of the LEDs before unplugging the cable from the battery module.

If the amber LED blinks after 15 seconds, do not remove the cable

from the battery module. This module is backing up data, and data will be lost if
the cable is detached.

If neither LED blinks after 15 seconds, it is safe to remove the

cable from the battery module.

When the server is on, review the POST message before plugging or unplugging the
cable from the battery module.
