HP Z Virtual manual Installing the flash-backed write cache module

Page 55

IMPORTANT: The battery pack might have a low charge when installed. In this case, a POST error message is displayed when the server is powered up, indicating that the battery pack is temporarily disabled. No action is necessary on your part. The internal circuitry automatically recharges the batteries and enables the battery pack. This process might take up to four hours. During this time, the cache module functions properly, but without the performance advantage of the battery pack.

NOTE: The data protection and the time limit also apply if a power outage occurs. When power is restored to the system, an initialization process writes the preserved data to the hard drives.

Installing the flash-backed write cache module

CAUTION: The cache module connector does not use the industry-standard DDR3 mini-DIMMs. Do not use the controller with cache modules designed for other controller models, because the controller can malfunction and you can lose data. Also, do not transfer this cache module to an unsupported controller model, because you can lose data.

1. Back up all data.

2. Close all applications.

CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.

3. Power down the server on page 18.

4. Remove all power:

a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source. b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.

5. Extend the server from the rack on page 19.

6.Remove the access panel on page 20.

7.Install the cache module.
