Install a RAID flash power module on the chassis

Use this information to install a RAID flash power module (also called supercap) 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 new RAID flash power module to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the new RAID flash power module out of the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
  2. Install the supercap holder.
