8. Slide the file module into the rack.
9.
Reconnect the external cables; then, reconnect the power cords and turn on
the peripheral devices and the file module.
Note: You must wait approximately 2.5 minutes after you connect the power
cord of the file module to an electrical outlet before the power-control button
becomes active.
10. Allow the initialization process to complete. If you do not, the battery pack
does not work, and the file module might not start.
When you restart the file module for the first time after you install a SAS
controller with a battery, the monitor screen remains blank while the controller
initializes the battery. This might take a few minutes, after which the startup
process continues. This is a one-time occurrence.
11.
Run the file module for 4 to 6 hours to fully charge the controller battery.
The battery comes partially charged, at 30% or less of capacity. The LED just
above the battery on the controller remains lit until the battery is fully
charged.
Until the battery is fully charged, the controller firmware sets the controller
cache to write-through mode; after the battery is fully charged, the controller
firmware re-enables write-back mode.
12. When you restart the file module, import the existing RAID configuration to
the new ServeRAID SAS controller at the prompt.
