Battery-Backed Cache Module

To remove the component:

1.Determine if the controller configuration supports hot-plug cache replacement:

If the storage system is equipped with a single controller, power down the storage system (on page 9).

If the system has redundant controllers and the replacement cache is a different capacity than the failed cache, power down the storage system (on page 9).

If the system has redundant controllers and the replacement cache is the same capacity as the failed cache, proceed with step 2.

2.Remove the controller ("Modular Smart Array 500 Generation 2 Controller" on page 13).

3.Remove the existing cache module.

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 if the storage system has redundant controllers and the replacement cache is a different capacity than the failed cache.

To replace the cache module:

1. Install the module in the slot.
