Removing a RAID adapter remote battery holder

Use this information to remove a RAID adapter remote battery holder.

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 remote battery in the server, complete the following steps:

  1. Read the safety information that begins in Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. Turn off the server (see Turning off the server) and all attached peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables from the server.
  3. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the cover facing up.
    Attention
    Do not allow the server to fall over.
  4. Unlock and remove the left-side cover (see Removing the left-side cover).
  5. See the documentation that comes with the adapter for any cabling instructions and information about jumper or switch settings. It might be easier for you to route cables before you install the adapter.
  6. Remove the remotely installed RAID adapter battery (seeInstalling a RAID adapter remote battery or flash power module in the server ).
  7. Pull the blue touch point slightly to release the battery holder out of the guide pin.

  8. If you are instructed to return the RAID adapter battery holder, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
