Attention:v When you route cables, do not block any connectors or the ventilated spacearound any of the fans.v Make sure that cables are not routed on top of components that are underthe PCI riser-card assembly.v Make sure that cables are not pinched by the server components.8. Rotate the retention latch to the closed position, making sure the retention latchengages the ServeRAID adapter. Then, push the release pin to lock theretention latch in place.9. Install PCI riser-card assembly 1 or 2 (see “Installing a PCI riser-card assembly”on page 81.ResultsIf you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to“Completing the installation” on page 79.Note:1. When you restart the server for the first time after you install a ServeRAIDadapter with a battery, the monitor screen remains blank while the controllerinitializes the battery. This might take a few minutes, after which the startupprocess continues. This is a one-time occurrence.Important: You must allow the initialization process to be completed. If you donot, the battery pack will not work, and the server might not start.The battery comes partially charged, at 30% or less of capacity. Run the serverfor 4 to 6 hours to fully charge the battery. The LED just above the battery onthe controller remains lit until the battery is fully charged.Until the battery is fully charged, the controller firmware sets the controllercache to write-through mode; after the battery is fully charged, the controllerfirmware re-enables write-back mode.2. When you restart the server, you are given the opportunity to import theexisting RAID configuration to the new ServeRAID adapter.Installing a ServeRAID adapter battery or flash power modulein the remote battery trayUse this information to install a ServeRAID adapter battery or flash power modulein the remote battery tray.About this taskThe Intelligent Battery Backup Unit (iBBU) is an optional battery for theServeRAID adapter. It is referred to as the battery throughout this section. Youmust purchase the remote battery cable and install the battery at a distance fromthe ServeRAID adapter to avoid overheating.You can install up to two batteries on the remote battery trays on the chassis.To install a battery on the remote battery tray, complete the following steps:Procedure1.
