Installing the Battery module:

To remove:

2. Remove the main cover

3. Remove the RAID expansion module, battery, and battery mounting screws from the packaging.

To install:

1. Orient the battery with the connector and cable facing toward the front of the server.

2. Align the battery screw-hole flanges over the four screw hole stand-offs in the motherboard.

3. Secure the battery to the motherboard.

4. Secure the battery cable to the motherboard using the installed twist-lock.

Caution - Irreparable hardware damage and component failure can occur due to overheating if battery is incorrectly installed.

Installing a Raid Module:

Caution - Do not operate the system with empty slots. Always insert a filler into an empty slot to reduce the possibility of module shutdown.

1. prepare the system for servicing

2. Remove the cap from the RAID expansion module connector on the motherboard

3. Position the RAID expansion module with the connector and extension cable facing downward.

4. Connect and route the cable (Sun Blade RAID 5 expansion module only, NOT for Sun Blade RAID 0/1 expansion module)

* Connect the extension cable to the connector on the end of the battery cable (The Sun Blade RAID 0/1 expansion module does NOT have a cable.)

* Route the cable through the opening in the center support bracket.

***NOTE : Because of thermal issues cable routing is critical. Ensure that the cable is routed away from the battery and through the bracket opening nearest the center of the server.

5.Install the RAID Expansion Module:

* Slide the edge of the RAID Expansion Module into the clips on the support bracket.
* Press the card carefully down into the REM connector until the edge of the card is secured under the eject lever clip

6. Route and secure the cable (Sun Blade RAID 5 expansion module only).

* Gently pull as much of the cable as possible through the opening in the center support bracket
* Secure the cable in the cable twist-lock

When all the parts are installed update the BIOS and firmware.
