Install the RAID super capacitor module on the chassis

Use this information to install the RAID super capacitor module on the chassis.

About this task

Attention

  • Read Installation guidelines to ensure that you work safely.

  • Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.

  • Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.

Procedure

  1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the RAID super capacitor module to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the RAID super capacitor module out of the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
  2. Check the installation rules for super capacitors. See PCIe slots and configurations.
  3. If the server comes with a tray that covers the place of the RAID super capacitor module on the chassis, remove it first.

  4. If the server does not have a RAID super capacitor module holder on the chassis, install one first.

    1. Open the retention clip on the holder.
    2. Put the RAID super capacitor module into the holder and press it down to secure it into the holder.

After you finish

  1. Connect the super capacitor module to an adapter with the extension cable that comes with the super capacitor module. For detailed cable routing information, see Internal cable routing.

  2. Complete the parts replacement. See Complete the parts replacement.
