Replace Slammer Batteries

Pillar Data Systems Confidential
Once you install the battery, as long as the Slammer is
powered on, the internal battery charger will provide a
continuous trickle charge to maintain the battery throughout
its life (see the table below).
After you insert this FRU into a Slammer control unit (CU),
use Guided Maintenance to finish the procedure.
When the FRU replacement process is complete, the Axiom
system takes the target CU out of conservative mode and
reports the status of the FRU.
To insert a Slammer battery:
1 Slide the replacement battery into the Slammer chassis.
2 Push the battery firmly into place to engage the battery
with the motherboard assembly.
3 Tighten the two screws to secure the battery to the
Slammer chassis.
4 In the Guided Maintenance screen, click the Next button.
