Alert: Your ESA 4300 is equipped with a battery backup unit
on the RAID Controller Card, which allows the
appliance to write volatile memory to disk in the event
of a loss of power. This battery backup unit must be
charged for 24 hours. When deploying your ESA 4300
appliance, follow the startup and registration
instructions detailed in this document, and then allow
the battery backup in the unit to charge for 24 hours. If
the battery is not fully charged, some RAID features
are turned off, and the appliance performance is
temporarily impaired until the battery is fully charged.
