7.Install the capacitor pack onto the bracket, leaving sufficient room to connect the capacitor pack cable.

CAUTION: When connecting or disconnecting the capacitor pack cable, the connectors on the cache module and cable are susceptible to damage. Avoid excessive force and use caution to avoid damage to these connectors.

8.Connect the capacitor pack cable to the cache module.

9.Install the controller in the server blade.

After installing a capacitor pack, you might see a POST message during reboot indicating that the array accelerator (cache module) is disabled temporarily. This behavior is normal because the new capacitor pack is likely to have a low charge. You do not need to take any action, because the recharge process begins automatically after the capacitor pack is installed and the server is powered. The controller operates properly while the capacitor pack recharges, although the performance advantage of the array accelerator is absent. When the capacitor pack has been charged to a satisfactory level, the controller enables the array accelerator automatically.
