Replacing a RAID adapter remote battery holder

Use this information to replace 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 replace 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. Remove the existing RAID adapter remote battery holder (see Removing a RAID adapter remote battery holder).
6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the air baffle; then, remove the air baffle from the package.
7. 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.)
8. Align the battery holder with the guide pin to install the battery holder.
   
   
9. Make sure that the battery holder is secured firmly.

If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to Completing the installation.
