CAUTION:

To prevent a server blade malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or

remove the battery pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe

size migration is in progress.

CAUTION:

After the server blade is powered down, wait 15 seconds and then check the

amber LED before removing the battery from the cache module. If the amber LED flashes after

15 seconds, do not remove the battery from the cache module. The cache module is backing

up data, and data is lost if the battery is detached before the LED is extinguished.

IMPORTANT:

The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST

error message is displayed when the server blade 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.
