Installing The Fbwc Module And Capacitor Pack (P222 And P430) - HP ProLiant ML350e Gen8 User Manual

CAUTION: After the server is powered down, wait 15 seconds and then check the amber
LED before unplugging the cable from the cache module. If the amber LED blinks after 15
seconds, do not remove the cable from the cache module. The cache module is backing up
data, and data is lost if the cable is detached.
IMPORTANT: The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a
POST error message is displayed when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery
pack is temporarily disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry
automatically recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack. This process might take up
to four hours. During this time, the cache module functions properly, but without the
performance advantage of the battery pack.
NOTE: The data protection and the time limit also apply if a power outage occurs. When
power is restored to the system, an initialization process writes the preserved data to the hard
drives.
Installing the FBWC module and capacitor pack (P222 and
P430)
CAUTION: The cache module connector does not use the industry-standard DDR3
mini-DIMMs. Do not use the controller with cache modules designed for other controller
models, because the controller can malfunction and you can lose data. Also, do not transfer
this cache module to an unsupported controller model, because you can lose data.
