Requirements for replacing a failed battery

If you plan to replace a failed battery, keep the following requirements in mind.

  • You have installed ThinkSystem Storage Manager on a management station, so you can use the storage array's command line interface (CLI). If this software has not yet been installed, follow the instructions in the Windows express configuration, VMware express configuration, or Linux express configuration to download and install it.

  • You must have a replacement battery.
  • You have an ESD wristband, or you have taken other antistatic precautions.
  • You should use labels to identify each cable that is connected to the controller canister.
