6 Removing and Installing the Battery and Battery Cable on PERC Controllers
Installing the New BBU and Battery Cable
This section describes the installation of the BBU and battery cable onto the DIMM
of a PERC
x /E Adapter.
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system
cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before performing any
procedure, see your Product Information Guide for complete information about
safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against
electrostatic discharge
.
1
Unpack the BBU and follow all antistatic procedures.
NOTE: All work must be performed at an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)-safe
workstation to meet the requirements of EIA-625—"Requirements For
Handling Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Devices." All actions must be
performed following the IPC-A-610 latest revision ESD recommended
practices.
NOTE: Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible,
use antistatic floor pads and work bench pads.
NOTE: When unpacking a static sensitive component from its shipping
carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material
until you are ready to install the component. Just before unwrapping the
antistatic package, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
2 With the memory module removed from the controller, insert one end
of the battery cable (the red, white, yellow, and green wires) into the
connector on the memory module and the other end into the connector
on the battery.
NOTE: Do not exert excessive pressure on the connector on the memory
module while installing the memory module.
