Attention:

To maintain system availability and to prevent possible data loss, it is important to

understand that these features have implications on the SAS configuration and data accessibility of the
system.

The 175 MB cache Raid – dual IOA enablement card (FC 5662) contains two rechargeable battery packs
and battery charger circuitry. Each battery pack provides power for the write cache of an embedded SAS
storage adapter. When you replace a failing cache battery pack, be sure to replace the correct battery
pack.

Attention:

To prevent data loss, follow proper procedures before proceeding with battery replacement.

If either of the cache battery LEDs are flashing, do not replace the cache battery pack or you might lose
data.
