Replacing the Cache Battery
A cache battery or Battery Backup Unit (BBU) is optional on VessRAID. If your
system has a cache battery, it is located inside the RAID Controller. The battery
assembly is replaced as a unit.
Cautions
• Try reconditioning the battery before you replace it. See
page 103 or page 153 for more information.
• If power service has failed, do not remove the RAID Controller
if the Dirty Cache LED is lighted. See Figure 5. Wait until
power service is restored.
• Only a qualified technician should perform this procedure.
• You must shut down the VessRAID subsystem before you
can perform this procedure.
• Installing the wrong replacement battery can result in an
explosion.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions that
come with the battery.
To replace the cache battery:
