Hardware options installation 64
The BBWC consists of two parts: a battery pack and a storage cache module.
Along with the cache module, the battery pack provides transportable data protection, increases overall
controller performance, and maintains any cached data for up to 72 hours after the server loses power.
The NiMH batteries in the battery pack are continuously recharged through a trickle-charging process
whenever the system power is on.
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.
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.
To install the component:
1. Close all applications, and power down the server (on page 26). This procedure flushes all data
from the cache.
2. Extend the server from the rack.
3. Remove the access panel (on page 27).
4. Remove the SPI board.
5. Install the cache module.
