Install the RAID super capacitor module on the chassis

Use this information to install a RAID super capacitor module.

Note
Your server supports up to two RAID super capacitor modules.
  • For server models with 3.5-inch drive bays, install the first RAID super capacitor module in location 1 and install the second RAID super capacitor module in location 2.

  • For server models with 2.5-inch drive bays:
    • If you have a RAID super capacitor module holder in location 3, install the first RAID super capacitor module in location 3 and install the second RAID super capacitor module in location 1.

    • If you do not have a RAID super capacitor module holder in location 3, you can install the first RAID super capacitor module in location 1 and install the second RAID super capacitor module in location 2.

Before installing the RAID super capacitor module on the chassis, touch the static-protective package that contains the new RAID super capacitor module to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the new RAID super capacitor module out of the package and place it on a static-protective surface.

To install the RAID super capacitor module on the chassis, complete the following steps:

  1. Remove the tray that covers the place of the RAID super capacitor module on the chassis.
