128 MB supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10
CAUTION: To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or remove the battery
pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe size migration is in progress.
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.
To install the component:
1. Power down the server (on page 16).
2. Do one of the following:
• Open or remove the tower bezel, as needed ("Open or remove the tower bezel" on page 17).
• Extend the server from the rack (on page 16).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 18).
4. Install the cache module with integrated battery pack.
5. Install the access panel (on page 19).
6. Do one of the following:
• Close or install the tower bezel, as needed.
• Slide the server back into the rack.
7. Power up the server (on page 16).
Refer to the option documentation for more information.
Tower-to-rack conversion option
The tower-to-rack conversion kit includes all equipment required to convert the tower model server into a
rack model server and to install the server into most square- or round-hole racks.
