Battery Replacement Notice

The battery-backed write cache uses a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack.

WARNING: There is a risk of explosion, fire, or personal injury if the battery pack is not properly handled. To reduce this risk:

•Do not try to recharge the batteries if they are disconnected from the controller.

•Do not expose the battery pack to water, or to temperatures higher than 60°C.

•Do not abuse, disassemble, crush, or puncture the battery pack.

•Do not short the external contacts.

•Replace the battery pack only with the designated HP spare.

Battery disposal should comply with local regulations. Alternatively, use established parts return methods to return the battery pack to HP for disposal.

Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of together with the general household waste. To forward them to recycling or proper disposal, use the public collection system or return them to HP, your authorized HP Partners, or their agents.

For more information about battery replacement or proper disposal, contact your HP authorized reseller or your authorized service provider.
