Replacing a RAID adapter battery or flash power module in the RAID battery tray

Use this information to replace a RAID adapter battery or flash power module in the RAID battery tray.

1. Read the safety information that begins on page Safety and Installation guidelines.
2. Slightly use your finger or thumb to unlock the battery retention clip from the battery holder. During the unlocking process you will hear a "click" sound.
3. Install the battery in the RAID battery tray:
   1. Orient the battery as shown in the following illustration; then, lower the battery into the RAID battery tray. If the battery comes with a battery carrier, ensure that battery carrier posts align with the rings on the battery mounting slot so that the battery carrier is secure in the slot.
   2. Push the battery retention clip back to its vertical position until it snaps into place, thereby securing the battery.
