Installing a RAID adapter battery or flash power module

Use this information to install a RAID adapter battery or flash power module in the server.
When you install any RAID adapter that comes with batteries or flash power modules, it is sometimes
necessary to install the batteries or flash power modules in another location in the server to prevent the
batteries or flash power modules from overheating. Depending on your server model, a battery must be
installed remotely near the optical drive cage or the backplane.
Note: RAID adapter battery or flash power module is only supported in the 2.5-inch models.
