Review E2800 battery replacement requirements and considerations. |
Before you replace an E2800 battery, review the requirements and considerations.
Each controller canister includes a battery that preserves cached data if the AC power fails.
If the Recovery Guru in SANtricity System Manager reports one of following statuses, you must replace the affected battery:
-
Battery Failed
-
Battery Replacement Required
From SANtricity System Manager, review the details in the Recovery Guru to confirm that there is an issue with a battery and to ensure no other items must be addressed first.
To protect your data, you must replace a failed battery as soon as possible.
The following is an overview of the steps required to replace a battery in an E2800 controller:
-
Prepare for replacement, following the appropriate steps for a duplex or simplex configuration.
-
Remove the controller canister.
-
Remove the failed battery.
-
Install the new battery.
-
Re-install the controller canister.
