Installing The RAID Controller Module Backup Battery Unit

You must replace the RAID controller battery backup unit immediately to ensure the security of the data
in the controller cache memory.
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as
directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is
not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that came with the product.
1. Align the backup battery unit with the slots on the RAID controller module.
2. Slide the backup battery unit toward the connector on the RAID controller module.
3. Tighten the screw that secures the backup battery unit to the RAID controller module.
4. Close the RAID controller module.
5. Install the RAID controller module.
6. Connect all the cables to the RAID controller and the storage array.
7. Use MD Storage Manager to check the status of all the storage arrays.
Power Supplies
Your system supports two hot-swappable 1755 W power supply modules.
When two identical power supplies are installed, the power supply configuration is redundant. In
redundant mode, power is supplied to the system equally from both power supplies to maximize
efficiency.
When one power supply module is removed or has failed, the power supply configuration is non-
redundant. Power is supplied to the system only by the single power supply module.
CAUTION: Do not plug the enclosure into a standard power outlet. Your storage array is shipped
with two IEC C19 to C20 jumper cables. Connect the C19 plug to the array’s power supplies and
the C20 plug to the power distribution unit (PDU) in the rack cabinet. For power redundancy,
split the power connections from each enclosure into separate PDUs and connect the PDUs to
external power receptacles on different circuits. The enclosure supports only 200 V to 240 V
input sources.

Removing A Power Supply Module

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only
perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as
directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is
not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions
that came with the product.
CAUTION: The system requires one power supply module for normal operation. Remove and
replace only one power supply at a time in a system that is powered on.
1. Identify and locate the faulty power supply module.
