HP ProLiant DL385 Server User Guide

CAUTION: To prevent a server 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 is powered down, wait 15 seconds

and then check the amber LED before unplugging the cable from the
cache module. If the amber LED blinks after 15 seconds, do not remove
the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up data,
and data will be lost if the cable is detached.

IMPORTANT: The battery pack may 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 may
take up to 4 hours. During this time, the cache module will function
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.

To install the BBWC:

1. Power down the server ("Powering down the server" on page

35

).

2. Extend the server from the rack, if applicable ("Extending the server from the

rack" on page

37

).

3. Remove the access panel.

4. Remove the front fan bracket ("Front fan bracket" on page

43

).

5. Remove the PCI riser cage ("Removing the PCI riser cage" on page

40

).
