The cache backup battery, also called a Battery Backup Unit (BBU) powers the cache to preserve data that has

not been written the physical drives. The battery is attached to the top of the Cooling Unit assembly. Each Cooling

unit has one battery. An amber or red BBU LED indicates a cache backup battery problem. See “Cooling Unit LED

indicates a problem with the fan” on page 542.

To replace a backup battery, swap out the Cooling Unit with the BBU that needs replacement. Follow the

instructions in “Replacing a Cooling Unit” on page 541.

Important

DO NOT

remove a Cooling Unit unless there is a replacement available and

on hand. Removing a single Cooling Unit without replacing it right away will

adversely affect airflow within the enclosure resulting in critical overheating

and shutdown of the enclosure.

An amber fan status

LED indicates there is a

problem. This unit might

need to be replaced.
