Installing A Raid Adapter Battery Remotely In The Server - IBM System x3550 M3 Type 4254 Installation And User Manual

If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
"Completing the installation" on page 103.

Installing a RAID adapter battery remotely in the server

The batteries must be installed only on top of the microprocessor 2 air baffle. To
install a RAID adapter battery in the server, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines"
on page 44.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and
external devices; then, remove the cover (see "Removing the cover" on page
52).
Note: Steps 3 through 5 apply to a RAID adapter that is already installed in
the server riser-card. If no RAID adapter is installed, skip to step 6.
3. Remove the riser-card assembly from the server and set it aside (see
"Replacing a PCI riser-card assembly" on page 68).
4. Remove the adapter from the riser-card assembly.
5. If a battery and battery carrier are attached to the RAID adapter, disconnect
the battery carrier cable from the battery and remove the three screws that
secure the battery carrier to the adapter. Set the battery and battery carrier
aside.
Note: If your battery and battery carrier are attached with a clip, squeeze the
clip on the side of the battery carrier to remove the battery from the
battery carrier.
