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.

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.

).

2.

Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
