Installing A Raid Adapter Remotely In The Server - Lenovo ThinkServer RD210 Hardware Maintenance Manual

If you are instructed to return the RAID adapter battery, follow all packaging instructions, and use any
packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.

Installing a RAID adapter remotely in the server

When you install any RAID adapter that come with batteries in the PCI slot 1 and PCI slot 2, it is sometimes
necessary to install the batteries in another location in the server to prevent the batteries from overheating.
The batteries must be installed only on top of the microprocessor 2 air baffle. To install the RAID adapter
battery in the server, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information in Chapter 2 "Safety information" on page 3 and "Installation guidelines"
on page 67.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
3. Remove the cover (see "Removing and replacing the cover" on page 72).
4. Route the remote battery cable through the notches on the microprocessor 2 air baffle.
Attention: Make sure that the cable is not pinched and does not cover any connectors or obstruct
any components on the system board.
5. Install the battery on the microprocessor 2 air baffle:
• Connect the battery cable to the battery cable connector on the battery carrier.

• Place the battery carrier in the battery mounting slot on the microprocessor 2 air baffle and ensure
that battery carrier posts align with the rings on the battery mounting slot so that the battery carrier
is secure in the slot.
Note: The positioning of the remote battery depends on the type of remote battery that you install.
