Replacing a Cache Battery
The cache battery is located inside the Cooling Unit. The battery is replaced as
an individual part.
To replace a cache battery:
1. Verify that the Battery LED is amber or red. See Figure 13.

2. Press the release button and pull the handle downward as shown above.
3. Pull the cooling unit out of the VTrak enclosure. See Figures 14 and 15.
Cautions
• Try reconditioning the battery before you replace it. See
page 98 or page 142 for more information.
• The battery assembly is replaced as a unit. Do not attempt to
disconnect the battery by itself.
• Installing the wrong replacement battery can result in an
explosion.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions that
accompany the battery.
• While the battery is removed, your system will be vulnerable
to data loss if the power fails while data is being written to the
logical drives.
• If power service has failed, do not remove the cooling unit if
the Controller’s Dirty Cache LED is flashing. See “Unsaved
Data in the Controller Cache” on page 281.
