Replacing a RAID adapter battery

Use this information to replace a RAID adapter battery.

Before you install a RAID adapter battery, complete the following steps:

1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
2. If the compute node is installed in a NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, remove it (see Removing a compute node from a chassis for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.

When you install any RAID adapter that comes with batteries, it is sometimes necessary to install the batteries in another location in the server to prevent the batteries from overheating.

To install a RAID adapter battery in the server, complete the following steps:

1. Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
2. Connect the supercap cable to the RAID adapter battery.

3. Place the battery cable latch (face down) into the RAID adapter battery holder. Make sure the latch is seated inside the notch and installed securely.

4. Install the battery into the RAID adapter battery holder and make sure that the holder engages the battery securely.

   Attention

   Make sure that the cable is not pinched and does not cover any connectors or obstruct any components on the system board.

5. Connect the other end of the cable to the planar tray.
6. Reinstall the cover (see Installing the compute node cover).
7. Slide the server into the rack.
8. Reconnect the power cords and all external cables, and turn on the server and peripheral devices.
